When we approached Scripps Ventures, we were well beyond the seed stage of funding but needed the capital to really accelerate the growth. The window of big opportunity was upon us, and it was important for us to have VCs with savvy media experience and the kind of connections that would help us grow quickly. Both the strategic partnership aspect of the traditional media fund and the related endorsements was exactly what iSyndicate needed. From the beginning, the Scripps team got our vision and were very passionate and excited about where the business could go. Our first impression of the SV team For us, deciding who to take on as investors is similar to the way we recruit folks to join the iSyndicate team.
Startups are too much of a roller coaster ride with incredibly high demands each day.
The Scripps team has been a fantastic cultural fit for us. As the CEO, I must know that I can call my investors anytime and talk about everything that's happening, both good news and bad. This has always been the case with Scripps, and that's just so valuable to me. The Scripps team has delivered on their commitments time after time after time. They have been the type of partners who, when we need to get in touch with anyone in the business, go the distance to help us get there fast.
