First Meeting

We first met Andrew when he pitched his last company, Ooma, over a decade ago. We passed, but remembered his ability to blend deep technology with storytelling. Years later, we met again to discuss Citizen—a mobile app that helped people keep their loved ones safe. After flying in from New York to meet us for an early Friday pitch, we called Andrew and asked him to deboard his flight home so we could continue talking. Thirty minutes later, we sat at the SFO In-N-Out hammering out the details of a term sheet. We sealed the deal with a handshake, a milkshake and a selfie.
