LV Founder Testimonials

Thank you for the introduction to our new advisor! She has fundamentally changed our business. She invested an angel check and helped us re-focus market to healthcare including introducing us to our first potential design partner. We're now shifting our potential early ICP to helping multi-state, highly regulated companies like Telehealth navigate complex contracts and workflows.

I had such a blast at every event, whether in-person or virtual, and every experience I was fortunate enough to have with the team was a great experience. I’m still unpacking all of the inspiration provided and leaning into the connections to help us grow.
