Investment Sucess Story
Dear Nick & Team:
I am looking forward to Thursday’s session. Excuse my recent absence but I have all of you to blame 😊
I was introduced to SindyXR about a year ago when their founder, Charles Kirby, pitched the company at a Startup Bright session. Post the session, Charles reached out to me seeking a direct investment.
As part of my investment due diligence of the company & the Remote Patient Management space, I was instantly drawn into the impact potential of the category to save lives. So much so that in addition to agreeing to invest in SindyXR I agreed to become Chair of the Board, CEO & President. Not something I would ever do lightly.
We made the press announcement of my appointment yesterday:

AND IT ALL STARTED WITH STARTUP BRIGHT!
Christopher Hill!
A great example of how we help startups
I got to know Nick during a pitching event at WeWork in Los Angeles. My startup, Phenium, was selected as the winner of the event, and as part of the honor was an interview with StartupBrite. I, like many others, have never liked hearing or seeing a recording of myself. However, to be successful with a startup you have to stick your jaw out and step out of your comfort zone.
Nick had arranged for us to meet at a coworking space in downtown LA. Clearly, Nick knows what he is doing, because instead of booking a very boring conference room, Nick had arranged for the video interview to take place in a very nice lounge.
Nick’s co-founder Michael Witt (and his wife) also attended. Michael arranged for all the videoing.
Nick was very professional and asked very qualified questions. He had clearly read up on the material I had sent prior to our meeting. I truly enjoyed the entire interview, and highly recommend Nick and team for such interviews.
Once the interview was published on StartupBrite’s webpage, I started to share it with potential investors and clients. We received raving feedback and it helped us collect some funding.
Thanks again, Nick!
