I’m pleased to support Jim and the team at Alef Aeronautics as a Lead Investor in this round on Wefunder. Jim and I share a meaningful connection as fellow Broncos from Santa Clara University. Our university holds a special place in aviation history as the institution closely associated with John J. Montgomery, one of the earliest pioneers of controlled flight whose groundbreaking glider experiments took place on the Santa Clara County by the Evergreen Valley Foothills in the late 19th century. In many ways, Alef’s vision feels like a continuation of that spirit of innovation. Jim and the Alef team are taking on one of the most ambitious challenges in mobility — building a practical flying vehicle that can operate both on roads and in the air. What stands out is not just the bold vision, but the disciplined engineering approach, thoughtful regulatory engagement, and steady progress toward real-world deployment. Alef represents the kind of frontier innovation that Silicon Valley has historically excelled at: combining aerospace engineering, automotive design, and software to rethink how people move in increasingly complex urban environments. I’m excited to support Jim and the Alef team as they continue advancing this vision and building the future of mobility. #gobroncos Sriram GP, Hypergrowth Labs Capital
