- @ founders don't believe the twitter doom & gloom: vc's are 100% still investing, esp the savvy ones. there will be more price sensitivity for the foreseeable future but bottom line the $$$ your business needs absolutely still exists. early stage will def *not* slow down 🔥
- it never ceases to amaze to meet these low-no profile highly profitable startups, often in-between the coasts, that have raised ~$500K-1M max yet have an order of magnitude better traction than their slick sf/nyc comps who have raised 100X more w/ no clear path to profitability.
- 👋 I'm excited to share a little bit on what I've been working on recently at Virtue. tl;dr -- Virtue is the 'earliest stage health VC'. If you're a pre-seed or seed health founder then let's talk!
- contrary to popular belief seed stage investors might be best for you if you are raising a seed round.
- We are thrilled to share the close of our second fund, “V2”, at $55.75M! In V2 we intend to continue partnering with exceptional pre-seed & seed healthcare founders as an additive lead or co-lead partner. Our check sizes will range from $1-2M across 25 companies over the next 3
- TODAY MARKS 🔟 YEARS SINCE I GAVE UP ALCOHOL! here’s to the next 10 🫶
- family offices that don't invest but repeatedly ask for emerging managers to share any/all co-invest opportunities... yeah, no.
- i have a port co where I led the seed <2 years ago just surpass a *$1B run rate* 😮 that is all. that is the entire tweet.
- tl;dr -- I am grateful to have raised $31.25M for @virtue_vc fund 1 so that I can continue my dream job of backing the very best pre-seed + seed healthcare founders 💥
- Exciting life update — yesterday @MLDavey and I welcomed a beautiful baby boy, our 1st child, Maddox, into the world and we love him so much! Both mama and son are healthy and now resting 👨👩👦❤️👶🏼 He even got himself a cool palindrome bday 4️⃣2️⃣2️⃣4️⃣ : )
- Just wired our final investment out of Fund 1 💸 It's been a turbulent period in venture since '21. We did our best to stay disciplined & used the full 4 year investment period in V1. Lots of learnings which we'll share publicly in the coming months. V2 is now activated 👊
- 1st term sheet of the year inked. much more to come @virtue_vc ✍️ if you are a #healthcare founder raising your pre-seed or seed 💰 or if you are an operator ideating & need direct feedback then lets talk 👋
