Snapshot story
One of our ventures, Aunt Bertha, received 80% of their initial round of funding ($100,000) from angel funders they met through an Uncharted program. When it came time to raise a second round ($845,000), Uncharted Investor Praful Shah flew to their headquarters and worked with their CEO Erine Gray on defining his ask, picking a valuation, and structuring the deal. Today, Aunt Bertha has raised over $5 million.
Here are some of our ventures’ funders.
