"Annelies is an exceptional investor partner. She asks the tough questions but in a constructive way, helping us to build a better company and sharpen our narrative. It is clear that her focus is on helping her portfolio companies succeed and not stroking her own ego. Also, her perspective is exceptionally well-rounded and her network to other investors and founders was a great asset to us."

"Ali is actually helpful! She is absurdly well-connected and has a ton of grit. She comes at investing with an operational mindset; from the sense of getting stuff done, moves the needle."

"Ariana is a hyper connector! Immediately in execution mode and introducing key stakeholders, customers, etc. that would be helpful. She is shameless when it comes to bragging about her own companies. Furthermore, she understands the check size to time spent with founders ratio. Ultimately, she is an underdog VC who underpromises and overdelivers."

"Adam's superpower is cutting through all the noise, and getting to the heart of a business. He has a key understanding of optionality; a binary mindset. For example, he acknowledges there are risks when it comes to early stage investing, but that if an idea works, it will change the game. That understanding is key!"

"Li just commands thought leadership. Her ability to help develop founders personal brands as well is beyond impressive. She ensures that her companies become 'hot' companies. I think Li needs a larger fund so that she can lead deals. She's more than capable."
