mainframe writes the first cheque to people still figuring out what they're building.
how this works
- i write first cheques of $100-$300k
- i dont need a lead, i never take a board seat
- i meet founders before product, before traction, sometimes before the idea has a name or the business is incorporated
- where i can, i become a customer first, using what gets built, paying for it
- i open up my LP network, candidates, customers, other investors
- most of my time goes to people who haven't started a company yet and aren't fundraising
Jack's been an exceptional partner, deeply engaged and always in your corner. Insightful on market dynamics, great judgement and remarkably well connected. Pound for pound the most impactful investor on our cap table. I couldn't recommend him more.
