"Chris is a premier talent-spotter. He identified the talent of an unknown young rapper (Logic) a decade ago and built a global empire around his brand. He can see around corners and has developed an incredible insight into the new emerging trends.”
Guy Raz, How I Built This
"Chris is super talented with an eye to spot talent in all domains from tech to music and investable opportunity before many of the rest of us do!"
“We really value strategic investors. Chris has embodied what I define as a value add investor, making impactful introductions as we scale our company.”
"Chris has been an incredible investor and supporter of the brand from day one. He always checks in, has timely advice and makes key introductions. He's become a friend and someone I can trust to support us through the ups and downs of running a startup."
"Chris wrote our first check and has been invaluable ever since. He's the first person I call whenever something goes wrong or I need to talk something through, and has gone above and beyond working with me for days at a time on our hardest problems. He's an incredible investor, but also a genuinely good person. We're lucky to have him!"
"I've started companies that have raised over $100m and Chris is honestly one of my favorite angel investors. Incredibly grateful for his continual above and beyond support – this is a human you unequivocally want on your cap table."
“Chris is the best. Always there to help and always willing to tap his amazing and very unique network to add strategic value. We're super lucky to have him as an investor.”
"Chris has, without a doubt, been the highest leverage person on our cap table. From making introductions to industry insiders to acting as a thought partner on late night calls, Chris has quickly become one of our greatest assets. We’re excited to work with Chris over the long term and find ways to increase his ownership in the company as we continue to scale."
"Chris is a high conviction, no nonsense investor. He does what he says he will. And executes ruthlessly to help founders win. Glad to have him in my corner."
"Chris has been an incredible partner and supporter of our brand since inception. Having him join as an investor was a perfect fit for us. His strategic thinking, introduction making and support goes a long way every time we chat. He’s not just an investor, but the ultimate partner and value add. He’s always got our best interest in mind."
"Chris is an investor who's not afraid to roll up his sleeves and dive into the trenches. He has a high EQ/IQ that any early-stage founder would want on their side. We're lucky to have him on ours."
"Do not be fooled. Chris is not an investor — he is an entrepreneur. With that, comes boundless experiences, networks, and a brilliant demeanor to do whatever it takes for his portfolio companies. Cannot recommend enough."
"Chris is a problem solver. It doesn't matter if I need help thinking through a growth decision, personnel decision, or anything in between - Chris has become one of my first calls. He genuinely cares about the success of our business and the success of our team and Negotiatus has been fortunate to have him as a partner over the years."
"Chris is easily one of my favorite investors I've ever partnered up with. Chris is always willing to roll up his sleeves and dive head-first into the deep end with his founders at a second's notice. I could not be more grateful for Chris as an investor, a human being, and above all—a friend."
"Chris is a phenomenal angel investor who brings an effective and unorthodox perspective to startups and venture. His experience in marketing and consumer is unparalleled: he has a wealth of knowledge and wisdom on how to do it all in today's market. I've learned immensely from him and look forward to continue doing so!"
