Founder | Applied AI company
“When you pick an investor you are picking a decade-long relationship. That trust has to be earned slowly. They started earning it in the first meeting and have not stopped.”
Founder | Manufacturing AI company
“Constantly pushed, never micromanaged.”
Founder | Security company

Founder | Fintech company
“Fast answers, plain language, no games.”
