The process is time consuming and can be resource intensive, especially when you're just starting out. Ron and Sam from Capital Connect have been great to work with, going beyond just a warm introduction to really understand our brand and who we are as founders to make the right match of goals and shared values. Their network reaches angels and sophisticated capital alike, and we're looking forward to continuing our partnership with them as we work to take our brand national.”
