FIRST CHECK TO FUTURE FOUNDERS
------------------------------
Basecase writes the first check to builders who are still dreaming, tinkering, and exploring what they want to create.

HOW I WORK
-----------
* I write the very first check into companies
* I lead rounds with $1-5M checks, no board seat
* I work with founders pre-product, pre-traction, and often pre-idea
* I am often an early beta tester, active user, and paying customer of the products founders build
* I put my network to work for founders, making introductions to candidates, customers, and investors
* I spend most of my time with people who have not yet started companies and don't take pitch meetings

WHO I WORK WITH
---------------
+ Former founders who are driven to make a comeback
+ Solo founders who've been told they need a co-founder
+ Underdogs who feel deeply compelled to prove people wrong
+ Builders who can't help themselves from bringing ideas to life
+ Futurists who have strong convictions about where the world is going
+ Anyone who has been told they are too intense, too curious, or too impatient
