Last week, we headed down south to Naples for a luncheon with several of our valued investors who make the growth of our portfolio companies possible. It was a great time celebrating wins, sharing insights, and connecting in person with part of our community of funders.

Last week, we traded term sheets for teppanyaki as we enjoyed a fun team hibachi dinner, complete with plenty of tricks like the classic onion volcano. Turns out we're just as good at catching shrimp as we are at catching promising startups. Special thanks to Fluffy's mobile hibachi. We love to support local businesses and they were right in our backyard - literally.
