“This is a very friendly environment. When you’re presenting to the VC, you feel comfortable sharing your pitch because you approach them as a mentor. There’s no need for fear, and you receive helpful advice in a friendly setting.”

“Talking for twenty minutes one-on-one definitely helped me get a lot of perspective on where I am, what I need to do, and what I need to be ready for.”

“We met with one of the VCs. The timing is perfect for us because we are raising our Series A round. The meeting went fantastically well, and the VC was very interested. Now, we are moving to the next stage.”
