This is a fund about founders and relationships
"My plan for Sleuth is for it to be my life’s work and an industry-defining company. When I set out to build it, I knew I needed help – with ML, GTM, company building – and I knew Near Horizon could bring it. My expectations were high, and they’ve exceeded them at every turn."
“Working with Near Horizon is like building a startup with a time machine. They draw on decades of experience to immediately identify opportunities and dangers that might otherwise take weeks or months. This accelerated our evolution and let us jump directly to the unique, interesting problems that provide massive value.”
“Mike was critical in our journey of finding product/market fit and honing our pitch to raise our first round. As first-time founders of color, we often relied on Mike's empathy and honesty to help us navigate the emotional challenges of building a startup.”
“Since we began working with Mark over half a decade ago, his advice has consistently stood the test of time better than anyone's, including some of the world's most luminary innovators and thinkers. When I need advice as a founder, I turn to Mark, and that says all you need to know.”
