After almost two decades in startups, it’s never been lost on me that we’re taking someone else’s money, knowing there is a 9 in 10 chance they will never see it again.

The journey from an idea to a sustainable business is often filled with twists, turns, and a plethora of challenges. None of it would be possible without the financial scaffolding and invaluable mentorship provided by venture capital firms and angel investors.

I’m thankful for the 60+ venture capital firms and angel investors who have been instrumental in turning visions into tangible success stories for startups I’ve been a part of.
