I believe that empathy and a shared belief in the vision are at the core of a long-standing investor-founder relationship.

“As an early-stage investor, I am excited to meet founders and understand their unique perspective on a problem and their innovative approach to solve the problem. I believe every founder is 'one-of-one' but they also share some common characteristics: They have deep and unique consumer insights and bring along unfaltering optimism, the courage to go the extra mile and energy which is infectious. The opportunity to learn from them, witness their journey first hand and partner with them from day 1 for the long-term is extremely inspiring and a privilege in itself.”
