Great story of quietly sticking with an idea long enough: Frederic and Steijn started Lassie years ago after ODF and built one of the most incredible high-growth startups in Silicon Valley. They wisely stayed under the radar to anyone other than their customers. Congrats!

Today, we're introducing Lassie and $47M in funding led by a16z. We're building AI that runs small businesses, starting with doctors' offices. Lassie is already trusted by 700+ practices across the country, working autonomously to provide them with 30 hours of labor per month.

Just met a founder who got royally screwed by a "VC" Worse, the lawyers they talked to in India before signing the docs assured him the terms were customary. I built a free tool to evaluate investor terms and avoid these catastrophic issues. Like/reply if you want access.

Moving to SF changed my life. In the last 2 years, I paid it forward and helped hundreds of founders relocate to do their life's work. I want to work with you & invest $100K if you: - are building solo - feel what you’re building is a calling - have paying users who love you
