Investing Philosophy
Neal looks for early-stage companies and founders that show passion, perseverance, and personality. Passion brings the life and energy required to drive innovation. Perseverance keeps the company going, no matter what obstacles come along. Personality provides that certain je ne sais quoi that makes the company and its founders industry leaders. Neal is drawn to founders that are willing to do something that scares them—even if it means failing once or twice.
