We are VCs turned angels: angel checks + VC network & expertise 😇 We invest $250k-$500k angel checks at pre-seed/seed. And we don’t give a damn about stake. Free to be 100% on your side of the table. 😜 We have been VCs. We know how VCs think & operate. And we have the network of a VC. 🤟 We become your in-house VC: here to help you hack the system from the inside, with independent & unfiltered investor insights. And EQ. And chocolate ;). 😎 One more thing: we are backed by tech founders, no VC funds. Check out our founders' deck: https://bit.ly/cocoapitchesfirst 🍫💙
