We signed a term sheet with Ben for Change Collective’s round shortly before the holidays and he did a great job bringing in our friends at Founder Collective as a co-lead and Eniac Ventures and a small set of angels in a short time. We’ve met with many startups working in this area over the last 2-3 years.
