What Investors Say

LEAD INVESTOR
Invested $1,000 this round
In my role within the software industry, I focus on identifying potential and envisioning the broader impact of innovative solutions. Beyond developing proofs of concept (POCs) or securing requests for quotes (RFQs), I excel at looking past short-term challenges to understand the transformative possibilities of a project. This perspective drives my passion for creating meaningful change through technology. Over the past five to six years, I’ve developed a deep interest in the film industry, inspired by the profound influence movies have had on my worldview. Films are more than entertainment—they shape perspectives, spark conversations, and inspire progress. This realization has fueled my desire to contribute to an industry that has the power to change the world, much like software. As an avid reader with a love for deep, thought-provoking narratives, I’m drawn to stories that challenge conventions and leave a lasting impact. My excitement for the film industry crystallized when I met Micah during the reservation phase of Starfish, a groundbreaking sci-fi project exploring the complex theme of cloning. I immediately recognized that Starfish was not just another film—it’s a unique and valuable piece of art that pushes the boundaries of the genre. Starfish boldly reimagines the depth of human emotions in today’s dynamic world. In an era where technology promises boundless possibilities, even eternity, humanity continues to grapple with the everyday "what-ifs," often marked by fear and uncertainty. This project captures that tension with profound insight, weaving a narrative that resonates universally while embracing the complexities of our modern age. Micah and his team are poised to deliver something extraordinary, a rare cinematic experience that resonates deeply with audiences. What sets Micah apart is not only his creative vision but also his business acumen. Through our conversations, I’ve seen how he navigates the industry with strategic brilliance, transforming modest opportunities into significant successes—essentially turning “a penny into a ring” and selling it for a thousandfold its value. His ability to maximize the potential of his projects, combined with his team’s dedication, gives me strong confidence in their ability to bring Starfish to life and make a meaningful impact. My dual passion for software and film drives me to bridge these worlds, supporting innovative solutions and compelling stories that inspire and transform. My confidence in Micah and Starfish is bolstered by what I humbly call a "sixth sense"—an instinct for identifying potential that has yet to steer me wrong. I’m thrilled to back Micah’s vision and contribute to a project that promises to redefine storytelling in the sci-fi genre.
