@sophiaamoruso@trustfundvc We use a service based fund admin called Barrier Crest. They do an exceptional job! More expensive than a tech platform, but they are an extension of our team and are highly precise. Happy to connect you.
Investing in early stage startups is a thrilling journey, but success lies in adding true VALUE. Whether it’s intros to potential customers, strategic partnerships, or helping to fill the rest of the round, being actively involved is key!
As we start to put this raise behind us, there's been some amazing folks that have joined our cause and delivered value right from the start. Putting them on blast so you might get to know them
@mahaniok from @geek_ventures - Immediately got us in contact with his network resulting in an additional $500K being raised, and sent support on the operational side
@MaraChaben from @hawkeventures - Connected us with additional investors, shared Charlie with their network of partner agencies, and is brokering some very interesting future partnerships I can't wait to tell you about
@KaganJ from @textbookvc - A beacon of energy, bringing jokes on the dark days, additional capital, and plugging us into the AI scene in NYC. He even brought us in to guest lecutre at Colombia and helped us set up an educators and entrepreneurs program.
@SRI_Intl - Our partner for developing next generation multimodal models, Ryan Lewis from their side jumped into the fray to get us on their podcast, introduce additional investors, and join us for a few investor calls as a reference. The work we're doing with their research team is groundbreaking
Grateful for the people we've pulled together, and the mirrored passion they've shown for what we're trying to build.

Here are 5 questions every ad & landing page should answer:
1. What are you selling?
2. Why should I care?
3. How fast can I get it?
4. How will it make my life better?
5. How does this compare to other products on the market?
If they don't answer all 5, don't publish it.
@JessTheVC@nic_detommaso also ! There are lots of people in the YesNomads Facebook group that rent their cars in LA when they leave. I’m actually coming to NY for 2 weeks in sept / Oct if interested in an apartment & car swap feel free to DM!
@JessTheVC@nic_detommaso @Blakeweissman2 @EstebanAvocado@theaknobel Venice is really walkable and lots of VC events & meetings are on the west side - but not all. The rent is typically cheaper in LA vs NY so I highly recommend getting a short / long term car - the experience in LA is unparalleled when you have the ability to hop around.
Hot takes are so 2021. Honest takes are the thing of 2022. Know what I'm saying?
Thats why we loved talking to @MaraChaben of @hawkeventures (and @hawkemedia) about where we are in the world of web3 + commerce.
TLDR: we are still early. Link below!
