Exciting

It’s been a busy few months at Kearny Jackson. We had our AGM in May. We led six seed investments. Some portfolio companies were acquired. Many others raised new rounds. Someone also shared this VC feedback Reddit post with us which was nice as it validates our approach to working with founders. Long may this continue.
