Notable quotes
“I want Southern California to be the best investment ecosystem in the country, and that's possible with all this investment collaboration across TiE chapters.”
“From Fund One we invested all over the world — one in Germany, four in India, and eight in the US. We started Fund Two with a commitment of close to three million dollars and 90-plus members — double what we did last time — and between that fund and the sidecar we're going to have at least five million dollars to deploy over the next 18 months.”
“TiE SoCal Angels has become one of the leading communities in Angel Investment among the 24 TiE Chapters in the United States.”
