What a day.

When Al Bsharah and I started Interlock Capital, we aspired to raise the bar of funding companies by doing it with experienced operators at its foundation.

In bringing together the community’s experienced CEOs for the first Interlock Summit, we showed the physical manifestation of the power of the Interlock Capital network.

When experienced operators engage their time, energy, and capital into early stage startups, we accelerate our companies and we all stand to gain. Thank you to our Limited Partners and Venture Partners for supercharging this mission.

Here’s to the power of the network and having fun while doing it.

Join us May 2 for our next AgTech Gathering curating leaders in agriculture, plant science, and related technology.

Cheers!
