hear from our founders
“I have the privilege of having Emily as an investor and mentor. Emily is no-bs and has founder experience – which means she’s able to provide a pragmatic perspective. Plenty of my most crucial strategic decisions have had Emily’s influence for the better. I turn to Emily often – which highlights the value she provides to founders!”
“We first approached Alan for advice on how to pitch to Startmate. This was before we had customers, a product or a team. Alan just got what we wanted to do before anybody else and helped us with a lot of basic stuff in the early days. He literally got business cards made for us. We’re grateful to have him as a friend, early investor and trusted advisor.
