From the beginning, Ground Up has felt like our true partner. They punch way above their weight for a seed firm and have a unique network, including introducing us to the partner who led our Series E.
What's great about Ground Up is that they are very true to their name. They are in the trenches with us. If there's any problem on the table, they roll their sleeves up and get to work. They have been amazing partners on this journey.
If you have two checks on the table and the other is a higher valuation, I'd drop that check and take Ground Up. They will help you grow your business.
What I'm excited about from Ground Up is how rich their network is. More than any other investor, they've made intros that led to more patients we can help. Their network can literally move the needle.
I feel like Ground Up should be on payroll. I talk to them more than any investor — almost daily. They're the only investor I view as part of our team. The engagement is just different.
Ground Up was among the first believers in me — before there was a company, before there was an idea. They were in the trenches trying to help, and they made one of the most important intros for the company. Full stop.
Ground Up was integral from day one — actually three months before I launched. They've been thought partners well above and beyond just capital, and they've meaningfully exceeded expectations.
Ground Up is the check you want to take. They get on sales calls in a way no other venture firm will, and they're the only investors I can attribute a closed deal to. They're with us in the trenches.
