    My favorite picture this week is from the first Overline founder event in #Nashville, hosted by our incredible venture scout, Zap ⚡️ Michael Cohn and I had the pleasure of spending the evening with our portfolio founder and guest speaker, Matthew Peltier, along with dozens of talented builders making it happen in Music City. Matt shared his inspiring founder journey and offered invaluable insights on fundraising, having raised significant $$$ for his previous startup before securing pre-seed funding for his new stealth venture. One of the standout moments was when Matt reminded founders in the room that fundraising isn’t the milestone — “it’s the oxygen we need to breathe, but not our purpose for living.” (Amen to that!) He also emphasized the importance of getting investors to “see the world as you do” and encouraged founders to remain “constantly optimistic yet rational.” Another crucial takeaway was to avoid letting valuation be the sole reason investors say no in the early stages. Feeling inspired and grateful to be part of such a vibrant community, and looking forward to our next event this fall! 🚀✨ #nashvilletech #nashvillestartups

    Investing in Nashville startups | Teaching about capital/fundraising

    Exciting news, I'm now a venture scout for Overline! 💥 For the past few months, I've been regularly sharing deals with investors outside of Nashville to help get companies here funded. Overline has been consistently eager to be on the ground floor of what's happening here. Sean O'Brien and Michael Cohn have always been big believers in southeast startups and they've already invested into 3 startups in Nashville. I'm stoked to continue finding great founders and get more of them backed by Overline. And show them all of our great Nashville monuments like the Parthenon LOL. They're also super friendly investors who run one of the coolest events- a VC pickleball tournament at Venture Atlanta. I'm looking forward to showing off my visor collection this year. As always, if you're a Nashville founder, HMU!

    Take a minute to check out this very cool job opportunity. 👇   Overline portfolio company Sola is looking for a Lead Software Engineer. This is a chance to work with an exceptional #Atlanta team that is disrupting the insurance industry.   Michael and I first met co-founders Wesley Pergament, Brayden Drury, and Jeffrey Zhou through Georgia Tech CREATE-X, and we were immediately sold on their mission to change the way property and casualty insurance works. Sola provides parametric insurance for natural disasters, beginning with tornado insurance and quickly moving into wind and hail. By leveraging data rather than human adjusters to determine payouts, Sola ensures that homeowners get their cash within days of a disaster, versus weeks or months with traditional policies. This emergency cash helps disaster victims cover real world expenses like housing, food, and even the deductible on their general homeowner’s policy. It’s a very strong value proposition, and Sola has partnered with some of the world’s biggest reinsurers and independent agents across the country to bring their first-of-a-kind product to market. (In the process, they are also creating tools to help these agents accelerate their marketing efforts and sell more insurance! 👀 )   Parametric insurance is a game-changer in the insurance industry, and Sola is on the leading edge of driving this exciting sea change. The team has a ton of industry credibility, lots of passion and energy, and just raised fresh capital to go faster and increase their lead. This Lead Software Engineer role is a critical hire and great opportunity to be on the ground floor of this rocket ship. 🚀   DM me If you are interested in learning more, and I will connect you with the team. Or tag people in your network who might be interested.   Georgia Institute of Technology | Rahul Saxena | Ben Patterson | Daniel Ramirez #atlantatech #atlantastartups
