What Investors Say

LEAD INVESTOR
Invested $75,000 this round + $75,000 previously
I led this round because Ace builds like a STEWARD, not a sprinter. Louisville needs more founders like him: grounded, resource-aware, and DEEPLY KNOWLEDGEABLE about the space they're building into. I probably over indexed on this fact, but Ace drives an old paid-off Camry he keeps in mint condition. That’s not "quirky" from where I sit - I'd already decided to invest when he pulled up in my driveway for our conversation hike, but that cemented my decision. Lastly, I love finding founders who build into slow, opaque and antiquated spaces where spreadsheets still rule (no offense, banks). And the fact he had vibrant sales and shorter-than-expected close time lines? EASY YES.
