## // Supporting Founders

Hear from our founders how we supported them on their journey.

### 01. Early Conviction — 1st investor to conviction

> "Ripple were partners with Lula before Lula even existed. I met Dom through the RippleX fellowship, which helped me validate real-world problems with customers. Dom was the first call I made when I committed to solving a problem. From there, Ripple helped us build our GTM foundation from scratch, with direct intros to customers, experienced venture partners, and other channels."
> — Adit Gupta (https://www.linkedin.com/in/guptaadit), Lula Commerce (https://lulacommerce.com)

> "I'm not sure there are other investors like Ripple operating in Canada. They are truly in a class of their own. I met the Ripple team in the early stages of starting my company long before I even remotely knew what I was doing. What amazed me was how much time and effort they put into not only learning about the space but understanding how we planned on changing the industry. It is no exaggeration that the Ripple team made Page a better company long, long before they decided to invest through the guidance and help they gave throughout the investment process."
> — Ben Cox (https://www.linkedin.com/in/benjlcox), Page (https://with.page)

> "I always recommend Ripple to other founders. Matt and I still chat on a daily basis, both as friends and as our earliest investors. He’s a huge asset for future fundraises and will become a die-hard supporter of your business. The thing I love the most about the team is that they are independent thinkers and will be with you through thick and thin as operators. Ripple takes the lead when firms shy away or wait for others."
> — Braden Ream (https://www.linkedin.com/in/braden-ream), Voiceflow (https://voiceflow.com)

### 02. Hiring — expansive talent network for A hires

> "Ripple has been an incredible partner from the very beginning. The team has done a great job connecting us with exceptional sales leaders, particularly in cybersecurity, who have helped scale successful companies in our domain to work with."
> — Aman Ibrahim (https://www.linkedin.com/in/amanmibra/), DeepTrust (https://deeptrust.ai)

> "Ripple’s network helped introduce us to candidates for sales, customer success, and engineers that we ended up hiring. Ripple has access to world-class talent that they selectively place into their portfolio companies based on their stage and domain expertise. It’s been a game changer for Clover to have this type of support."
> — Matt Espinoza (https://www.linkedin.com/in/mattespoz), Clover (https://cloverlabs.ai)

> "Since partnering with Ripple, Page as a company and myself as a founder have grown exponentially faster than we would have without them. Ripple also sourced Page’s first account executive hire, a top-performing rep who has grown and scaled with the company since day one."
> — Ben Cox (https://www.linkedin.com/in/benjlcox), Page (https://with.page)

### 03. GTM — direct introductions to enterprise customers

> "Ripple moves quickly to add value from day one, with many of our first users and customers coming through their network."
> — Braden Ream (https://www.linkedin.com/in/braden-ream), Voiceflow (https://voiceflow.com)

> "Ripple Ventures has been an integral part of our success, going beyond just providing capital. They’ve been true partners in every aspect of our journey, from refining our sales strategies to connecting us with their extensive venture partner network. With their help, we’ve secured some of our largest and most strategic customers."
> — Nauman Hafeez (https://www.linkedin.com/in/nauman-hafeez-0ba48260), NetNow (https://netnow.io)

> "I’ve worked with more than 50 VCs in my career and Ripple is hands down the most helpful. Their network shows up in real ways with warm intros to customers, foundation model labs, co-investors, and other portfolio founders. I consistently hear the same feedback from other founders, that they go above and beyond to be supportive for whatever asks come their way."
> — Ali Asaria (https://www.linkedin.com/in/aliasaria), TransformerLab (https://lab.cloud)

> "Beyond support, Ripple brought us a major $4B revenue company. We wouldn’t have been able to get a meeting without Ripple’s introduction, and that opportunity is just one of many Ripple has brought to us!"
> — Patrick Ip (https://www.linkedin.com/in/patrickip), Theo AI (https://theoai.ai)

> "Ripple has been one of our most helpful partners: serious hustle, founder-friendly, direct. They lean in on GTM support and have been generous in opening up their network. As the only Canadian institutional investor on our cap table, they’ve made several hugely valuable connections up here and continue to open doors. Matt and Dom are a text away when I need to pressure test a strategic decision and the team is a pleasure to work"
> — Dustin Zhang, Stealth

### 04. Challenges — 1st call founders make

> "Lots of investors talk about adding value but Ripple steps in. Ripple’s team do what the best Bay-Area investors do, more than give money and then ask for monthly updates. Ripple’s team leans in like another co-founder, helping with meaningful outcomes on GTM, hiring, & fundraising. But more importantly, Matt & Dom are always there to lift you up when things feel hard."
> — Ben Sanders (https://www.linkedin.com/in/sandersbenjamin), Hyper (https://callhyper.com)

> "Ripple is one of the hardest working investors on our cap table. Most importantly, they’re good people; you can be honest about your problems because they’ll help you solve them."
> — Mike Kim (https://www.linkedin.com/in/mycroftmike), Mycroft (https://mycroft.io)

> "Matt has been the most helpful investor on our cap table. Many investors say they will help, but very few actually follow through with consistent action. Matt is the exception. He delivered more support, and real value than anyone else. He showed up not only when things were going well, but especially when things were difficult."
> — Moe Katib (https://www.linkedin.com/in/moekatib/), One (https://withone.ai)

> "As a founder, they tell you to take the biggest check from the biggest firm. Ripple wasn’t a name we had heard of at the time, but they quickly became the biggest asset on our cap table, far more valuable than any check could have been. Matt and Dom picked up the phone, stayed close through the hard parts, and treated our wins like their own. We expected a business relationship with a VC firm. We got a real friendship with Matt and Dom instead, and it still holds today."
> — Johnny Kinder (https://www.linkedin.com/in/jakinder/), Harmonize (https://harmonize.io)

### 05. Fundraising — co-investor network for future raises

> "During our fundraise, the entire Ripple team stepped in to help workshop our story and pitch to make sure we were successful. They ended up making nearly half of the intros in our fundraise process, that lead to total capital raised."
> — Eunice Wu (https://www.linkedin.com/in/eunicexwu), Asepha (https://asepha.ai)

> "Ripple fills a huge gap for companies like ours in the market; they are hands-on capital providers with founder-friendly round dynamics and a strong network to larger investors that we can access when the time is right. They have a proven network with top-tier investors in the US and help set-up their companies for success."
> — Justin Sky (https://www.linkedin.com/in/jsky), Rose Rocket (https://roserocket.com)

> "Ripple feels like a true extension of your team, especially when it comes to fundraising. I’ve worked with a good number of funds, and what makes Ripple genuinely different is how they help you run the actual operations of a raise, not just open doors. The intros are high quality, but the way they work alongside you through the process is what sets them apart. Ripple introduced us to our lead investor, helped us navigate the dynamics of being oversubscribed, and worked with us on a daily basis: from pricing conversations to handling competing term sheets. Having a partner who picks up the phone at any hour and knows exactly what to do next is the difference between a good raise and a great one."
> — Reza Farahani (https://www.linkedin.com/in/reza-farahani-/), Katalyze (https://katalyzeai.com)

> "Dom gave practical fundraising guidance, helped us sharpen our story, and connected us with the right co-investors. Having Dom and the Ripple team involved gave us real credibility and momentum when we needed it most."
> — Subu Biswas (https://www.linkedin.com/in/subrata-subu-biswas-5114251b/), Cimba (https://cimba.ai)

> "Ripple led our pre-seed with conviction. When we didn’t need a logo but a fighter in our corner, they showed up. They doubled down when it mattered, and have been present and aware every step of the way. That kind of consistency is rare, and it’s what a true partner means."
> — Elio Narciso (https://www.linkedin.com/in/elionarciso), Scalestack (https://scalestack.ai)

### 06. Exit — supporting with strategic M&A exits

> "Ripple played an important role in our journey from the pre-seed stage all the way to a successful exit. Their strategic guidance, hands-on support, and understanding of company building were invaluable to our growth. Their team was with us every step of the way, helping us navigate challenges and capitalize on opportunities. I couldn’t have asked for a better partner in our startup journey."
> — Nicholas Chepesiuk (https://www.linkedin.com/in/nicholas-chepesiuk-29069432), OnCall Health (https://oncallhealth.com)

> "Ripple’s team somehow manages to be the perfect balance of sophisticated and scrappy. They understand the nuances of building high growth companies and capital strategy. And they aren’t afraid to jump in, and help you solve the inevitable problems that come along with company building. Matt is always working for us, maintains constant contact, and is a fierce advocate for our business. I can’t recommend Ripple enough as a partner in building the next great company."
> — Peter Mahoney (https://www.linkedin.com/in/pemahoney), Plannuh (https://planful.com/pressrelease/planful-announces-acquisition-of-plannuh-a-leading-marketing-performance-management-saas-vendor/)

> "Matt was one of our earliest believers and stayed close through every up and down. When it came to our M&A process, having a partner with context on the business and real alignment with the founders was truly helpful. Matt helped us navigate high pressure discussions, pull in the right advisors, and optimize the outcome for everyone around the table."
> — Shiva Bhardwaj (https://www.linkedin.com/in/shivabhardwaj), Pitstop (https://pitstopconnect.com)
