Ariana is a rare type of investor that founders love to work with. She easily switches from investor mode into co-builder, jumping into the company to knock out big tasks with the founders. She's more proactive than any other investor I've had in trying to provide value, is regularly within reach to talk through tough choices, and brings both humility and enthusiasm in finding ways to help. Her network is extensive and she intuitively anticipates who would be the best person to talk to next. If more investors were like Ariana founders would have a much easier job. Strong recommend!

I still remember my first meeting with Ariana. She made a huge first impression. She went super deep with asking questions and her energy emanated through our video conference. It took around two weeks for her to come to a decision, but was respectful of our time throughout the process. As a first time founder, it is important to have an investor who will support you through and through. We still have monthly calls post investment and she has been very helpful with recruiting. Furthermore, her technical background has been a huge help as a non-technical founder.

Ariana is an outstanding investor who does a ton of THOUGHTFUL due diligence! She works really fast so you will have to keep up with her and be prepared. By the first meeting, she knows your competitors, landscape, and industry. Her preparation for meetings was much appreciated and ultimately, made use of my time fundraising. Post Investment, she will connect you to the right resources to pave the way and avoid mistakes along the way. She has a ton of foresight.

I would say 11 if I could. She adds so much value for the size of check she gives. Her due diligence process was helpful with raising the rest of the round as she wrote a very detailed memo to share with other investors. As soon as she was in, she was helpful to introduce other investors. She also had constant communication, async. Overall, she was very encouraging. Being a founder and fundraising is not always fun, but she was very emotionally supportive!

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 founder ratio. Ultimately, she is an underdog VC who underpromises and overdelivers.

Yuval is an incredibly detail-oriented investor who has the ability to remain thoughtful yet realistic and poised. He's just the right balance of hands-on and hands-off, can handle tricky situations, and is always open for a discussion.
