Created 11 years ago in Funding / Venture Capital
I've successfully raised capital, bought out investors, and have sat in too many VC pitch meetings to count. I know what angels and VCs are looking for, and how a pitch needs to change depending on who you're speaking with. Learn the subtleties of investor pitching and what should (and shouldn't) be said.

Myke was undeniably one of the best CEO's that I've had the privilege to work for, not because of how smart, passionate, or talented he is, but because he makes himself 100% available to his employees at all times and genuinely cares about everyone's well-being. He constantly challenged each of us in the company to wear different hats and sought feedback in every facet of the Localist business - from new tech specs or design features on Localist itself to his own management style within the office. Indeed, I can't begin to express how much personal growth I have achieved in just the short time spent at Localist but I know deep down that Myke is largely responsible for all of it. My decision to leave Localist for personal reasons was a tough one to make, but I know that while I've lost a CEO, I've gained a lifelong friend and business colleague.

His eye for design is great, as well as his sense for building relationships to build the business. Mykel stays in the thick of things and relentlessly moves the business forward. I would start a business with Mykel any time.
