What our founders say:

"Andreas is hands down probably the best investor I've met, hard to describe how much value he brings or just how amazing he is to work with. If you're lucky enough to get him on your cap table, please make it happen. You won't regret it."
– Andrew Gazdecki, Microacquire

"Quite simply, MainStreet would not exist without the support of Andreas and Remote First. Andreas took the time to get to know me, stayed close, and feedbacked as we iterated the early product development of MainStreet. Andreas was the first investor call we made after our "Eureka!" moment during product development, and his investment, support, and conviction were critical to putting together our first seed round. Deeply grateful to have Andreas on our cap table!"
– Doug Ludlow, Mainstreet

"Andreas, you’re one of the most helpful people we’ve all worked with. Generous with your time and feedback. We’ve not had higher impact for each $ investors."
- Job van der Voort, Remote
