@SarahAllali7@justingordon212 Founders should 100% do this. It’s never to early to engage investors. If it’s not a fit they’ll unsubscribe. Today I met an investor who on average meets the founder 4 years before writing a check.
Thrilled to announce our participation in @bevz_tech's $3.1MM Seed round. Congratulations to @JasonVego and team on this important milestone!

BEVZ UNSUNG FUNDRAISING HERO # 6 – PRACTICE PARTNER: @Techstars
During the accelerator, Techstars pushed me to make the @bevz_tech pitch way better. We pitched live and in-person every week and got ripped apart.
And it worked. Round close details coming soon!

June results at Bevz 😍
Reach out if you want to (a) join us, (b) introduce us to great candidates, or (c) help us close this fundraising round, which is 90% committed...or, I guess, if you just want to chat startups😃.

I was talking with a founder raising her pre-seed. My advice:
Sell a big vision, convince investors you’re the best team to pull this off, and show just enough traction.
Then paint a picture of the 5-10 key things you’ll do to bring the vision to life.
This is her window 😁
Last week was LA Tech Week, and I met some incredible founders and investors. But there's a lot more we need to do to build up the startup community in LA.
If you're an LA founder or investor, let me know if I can do anything to help you.

@justingordon212 Hi Justin! I’m the CEO & Co-Founder of Bevz, a SaaS platform for convenience stores. We have 300+ stores on the platform, growing 21% monthly, and about to close a financing round. I feel really strongly about building up the LA startup/VC community. Hope to join a meetup soon!
@mitchell_sorkin@tylertringas We’re building automation and integration software for convenience stores. 300+ stores on our platform, growing 21% monthly. A little allocation left in this round if you want to chat more!
May results are in!
Our messaging, product, and story is really resonating with convenience stores. I love vertical SaaS because we can offer way more value and solve tougher problems than our competitors when we stay hyper-focused on convenience stores…https://t.co/4yalHPqBiT
After years of building, pivoting, then rebuilding Bevz, we're really hitting our stride in 2023. Shout out to an incredible team making this all happen!

@mauraball Lol me too. I may or may not have signed up for personal credit cards that were supposed to be metal, and when they weren’t metal, I was very sad. My wishes have finally come true with the Brex card.
