[05 Testimonials]
Real stories. Real winners. Straight from our portfolios.
Francis Berwa
Head of Growth, zkPass
Leland believed in us before anyone else did. They weren’t just investors, they were the first partners to challenge our thinking and push us to scale globally.
Sarah
Head of Marketing, NovaSkin
Most VCs talk about value-add. Leland actually delivers. From key hires to strategic introductions, they’ve been instrumental in every stage of our journey.
Mark
CEO, MYX
They understand culture as deeply as they understand capital. That combination is rare — and it gave us the confidence to build something truly original.
Elena
Product Manager, Streamly
Leland moves fast, acts with conviction, and always has our back. It feels less like an investor relationship, more like an extension of our founding team.
