Our founder, Yves Sisteron, was my mentor and board member at my first startup. And the fact that we’ve all worked for a decade with Dana Kibler who is our long-time CFO and now helping run Investment Operations & Platform Services we have a truly senior & killer internal team. Mafias matter a lot to me, as well.

So I asked Ethan to build his product first and then we would fund. The company was called Red Beacon. We like to be able to see the concept.
