"I truly value the trust that Gobi places on founders. They really treated us as partners instead of just a portfolio company. They are honest in giving founders advice, while not forcing you to do anything you don’t believe is right. I really believe that it’s their people aspect that makes you feel part of the family and you can conquer the world. Being an entrepreneur is tough, and Gobi is the type of investor you can confide in, learn from and have your back through it all."
