Excited to host our SUM Ventures + Band of Angels meeting tonight at 5 PM PST on Zoom! Exactly two years ago, the founders of LiveEasy presented at this very meeting. At the time, they raised capital from our fund at a $15M valuation. Fast forward to last month, and LiveEasy sold for $80M, delivering an incredible outcome for our investors and a testament to the power of early-stage innovation and perseverance. I’m confident that tonight’s group of founders will follow in their footsteps, and we’ll be celebrating their success in the years to come. Let’s continue supporting and building the next wave of transformative companies together! We’re thrilled to see presentations from new founders: Moneyball.ai - Julia Whippo BRAIN - Michael Curtis CenterCheck? geCKo Materials - Capella Kerst, Ph.D. Looking forward to seeing everyone there! It will be a fantastic event with plenty of insights from these innovative founders. See zoom information in the comments. #VC #startups #pitch #innovation #SUMVentures #entrepreneurship #founders

We get it, you’ve heard it before, but hear us out: At the seed stage, we know we’re only seeing a small piece of what the business will ultimately become. The founder is the one who must navigate the challenges and uncertainties of building a company. That’s why we place just as much emphasis on understanding the individual behind the business as we do on the business itself. By investing in the founder first, we gain confidence that, when faced with inevitable obstacles, they have the resilience and vision needed to adapt and continue building their company. We don’t just invest capital; we are a resource for our founders—offering strategic guidance, connecting them with the right partners, and helping them take their vision from seed to scale. #foundersfirst #venturecapital #startupjourney #sumventures
