Excited to be covered here in a unique format. Thanks for taking the time Pascal and team. And for the kind words :) @paradevc
If you're a founder building an enterprise / B2B software company - here's an awesome pre-seed / seed investor for you.
This week's findfunding.vc spotlight is on @smerani
from @paradevc. He:
🌁 Is Bay Area based
☀️ Grew up in Cupertino, a true local
🧵 Is a part-time lecturer at Berkeley Haas
🏋️ Equal parts tonal & fantasy sports fiend
Amongst founders, @smerani is known for being very collaborative and wanting to be the first call for all things (good and bad).
✉️ Make sure to pitch him at shawn@parade.vc (though warm intros are best!)
