Cascade Seed Fund

A statistic that surprised even us while looking at the data—it's one thing to believe in your product, but when the numbers show that others do too, that’s when you know you're onto something! It’s true—55% of our new customers are coming to us from well-known, large software companies. Even more exciting, 70% of our onboarding customers are joining through a colleague’s referral. These numbers speak volumes about the trust our customers have in us and the value we’re delivering. A big thank you to our customers for spreading the word and believing in what we’re building together!

Thanks to all who came out today for the Cascade Seed Fund social event during the Bend Venture Conference (BVC). Great group of folks and nice to have the tent to stay warm and out of the wind on a chilly fall day. Thanks also to the crew at Bend Brewing Company for accommodating our group!

We're thrilled to announce our $2.5M Seed Round!

We set out to raise this round during what felt like one of the hardest times to close capital. There were setbacks and moments where it seemed impossible, but we kept pushing through, knowing EVA's potential. I am beyond grateful to the incredible investors who saw the vision and believed in us. A special thank you to Robert and Julie at Cascade Seed Fund—your support has been invaluable and has shown us what it really means to have a great lead investor. John and Clay at Stout Street Capital, your belief in us from the start made such a difference. John and Scott, as a long-time fan of your work, it's amazing to have your support in return. Justin and Kelli—I am honored by your support as two music moguls who see what EVA can bring to our industry. Venture Atlanta, TiE Angels, and many more—thank you! Onwards and upwards—let's rock! 💥🚀
