Strengths

Advice

What Investors Say

LEAD INVESTOR
Invested $75,000 this round + $5,000 previously
Ad Fontes and its founder is providing a service that the world needs. Vanessa created a logical, replicable bias and reliability scoring mechanism that I have examined in detail, and have no doubt towards its validity. Beyond that, she also created the process and infrastructure to execute the ratings at scale, has created UIs and Data Visualizations to manage and report data in intuitive and understadable ways, and has a roadmap of further enhancements and offerings that I am beyond optimistic about. I am proud to be an early investor and to have worked with Vanessa on an early Demonstration project for my company. Ad Fontes will no doubt do great things, and the success of any enterprise is a product largely of its founder, and Vanessa is nothing but impressive, dedicated, hard-working, incredibly smart, and persistent. She also has iron-clad integrity and clear vision. I can't wait to see what Ad Fontes becomes in the future.
