"Impatient Ventures is the best first check a founder could ask for. They co-led Anon's pre-seed and have backed multiple companies I've founded—and I hope they'll back more in the future. What sets Impatient apart is their ability to make unexpected introductions that actually move the needle, while proactively finding ways to help you succeed beyond just writing checks."
"Jack has been the most helpful VC on our cap table. Some of our earliest customers came directly through his introductions. He brings a unique perspective that isn’t the standard echo chamber you often hear in the Valley, and it’s been invaluable in shaping our thinking. Every time we’ve pivoted, Jack not only understood why immediately, but also supported the decision and helped us move forward with clarity."
"Founders need capital, talent, and thought partnership. Jack brings all three. He was our first outside investor and has supported every round since, introducing us to other value-add capital along the way. He’s connected us with key teammates and advisors that have changed our trajectory. He’s also the first call when I need someone to challenge a new idea. Jack's ability to spot talent well before the market, combined with his unique way of partnering with founders, made him an ideal partner for the business. In addition, it made him an easy choice to back as an LP."
"Jack is an absolute 1 of 1 investor uniquely fit for the best founders. His willingness to get his hands dirty, get in the trenches, and use his network are unmatched. Having him on board makes you have faith in investors beyond their ability to write checks, he's real, and highly motivated to help you win. Impatient raises the bar for everyone."
“Impatient was our first believer…Jack has gone above and beyond to make introductions for the business, ranging from executives at the best companies in the world to potential 7 figure accounts in our early days…More than anything else, Jack believed in me and Shinkei before any top funds did.”
“In a world of financiers, Jack is the true Venture Capitalist…He’s closer to the metal than other funds. So, he can beat them to the punch and take deals often reserved for older funds…I’d take him early stage over multi-stage funds every time.”
“It’s rare to come across a VC like Jack. I don’t think I have ever met someone as tenacious as an investor. He’s provided immense value as a connector and I recommend him to every founder as a first call when they’re getting started.”
“Jack’s persistence, passion, and creativity made me a big fan…In short, I did not want just another check in the round. Persistence – Jack truly showed he was interested in our company and did not give up in pursuing the deal after a few calls like most investors. Jack did not take “no” for an answer and helped me create a deal which worked for all.”
