Gripp reposted this
An investor-to-investor DD call in the wild During the Tundra Angels due diligence process for our 21st portfolio company, Gripp, I met Chris Cunningham of New York-based C2 Ventures. Chris and I were sharing why we liked Gripp as a opportunity. I mentioned to Chris some intel that we gathered through our due diligence process - one of Gripp's customers made a comment that revealed a key linchpin in the process. Chris' reaction was the same as mine when I first heard the comment: "That's killer." Chris and I both knew what that comment meant for Gripp and how it validated the demonstrated the hot demand in the market for what Gripp is doing. One year later, kudos to Tracey Wiedmeyer and the entire team. It's been awesome to watch. Those are the some of the intangibles that epitomize early stage investing - how we pay attention to the signal and the noise. ---------- PS: I shorten the founder learning curve by writing insider tactics as an investor that I wish I would have known 10 years ago as a founder.
