We’re thankful to our LPs for their ongoing partnership and support, and to our portfolio companies for their commitment to excellence. A special thank you to the founders who shared their visions at the Summit: Kevin Honaker at BiomeSense, Emily Brown at Attane Health, John Thorp at Aerflo, Mila M. and Lucas Labelle at milamend, Joan Zhang at Arise, and Charles Dykes at Ummino. Shoutout to Cooley LLP as well for their hospitality. Looking forward to building on the momentum and continuing this journey together 🚀!
