"When I was ready to raise M7's first round of funding, I knew that I wanted January on my cap table. I had previously interned for one of January's portfolio companies and saw Maren and Jen serve as true thought partners and trusted advisors to the company's founders during ups and downs. As a first-time founder myself, I wanted that same level of support from my early investors. January Ventures is always available and is the first to jump in and help, regardless of the circumstance. They were instrumental in helping us close a follow-on round and bringing trusted investors onto the cap table. Any founder would be lucky to have them on their cap table.”

"The January Ventures team is truly 'smart money.' They understand early stage so well, helping me get ahead on the day to day of building my product and team - and they also help me stay one step ahead on my longer term goals of scaling and fundraising. Among all my investors, January has provided the most useful fundraising strategic advice and has built the best community of advisors and operators to support us. I want them in every round and introduce them to the best founders in my network."

“Since Treefera’s pre-seed round in July 2023, January Ventures has been a great supporter of our business. They have a standout brand in the VC space, and I am excited to continue partnering with them as we move our company into the next stage of funding. I would recommend January Ventures as a holistic partner to startups, being able to advise on such important topics as PR strategy, fundraising and hiring. They are also able to provide valuable customer introductions and have been great counsel to us as founders.”

“January Ventures has been one of the most value-add investors on my cap table. They were always first to respond to asks from our quarterly investor updates and took time to hop on a call whenever we needed them to. I always felt heard and like they had my back. They have a gift of listening and sourcing suggestions that lead to real solutions for Sonantic. For example, they introduced me to an interim COO who helped me find a talent partner who doubled our team size in 3 months with vetted talent. They also helped me find a marketing resource when I could no longer do everything myself. And when it came time to series A, they made the most introductions out of any of our investors.”

“I’ve been fortunate to have January Ventures as a partner on our journey since the early days at Pano, and they are very unique. In addition to providing the same level of support and resources as other top-tier VC funds, January Ventures also offers the very unusual opportunity to be part of a diverse founder community unlike anything else I’ve seen - a community of founders from under-represented backgrounds who are of exceptional caliber and are passionate about helping each other succeed day to day and being role models to the next generation of leaders. The January Ventures events are one of the highlights of my year, and can be incredibly soul-nourishing!”
