Renata does what’s right for the company,

what’s right for the founders. She’s very high integrity, someone you can trust. Renata cares a lot, is very good at asking the right questions at the right moment, helping us think things through. If you want to build something enduring, you need good partners.

My early conversations with Renegade revealed

 an investor that was both respectful of my time as a founder, while also being willing to take the time required to deeply understand our customers and value proposition. Since their investment I've been very impressed with the depth of experience and efficient competence within the team that I've had access to. They've already moved the needle for us with much more than just capital.

Renegade has been a terrific partner to us from day one,

always putting the best interests of the company as their first priority. As a founder, there's lots of decisions you wish you could revisit - working with Renegade isn't one of them.

With Renegade, I always feel like I have a true partner in the trenches.

They ask the tough questions that make us better, but always with empathy and our success in mind. Their belief in me as a founder and CEO has been steady, energizing, and deeply motivating.

Roseanne's strategic thinking

and ability to sharply delineate priorities, opportunities, and risk contours impressed us. As did the references from founders she has worked with closely for many years.

Working with Renegade has been different from day one

When I need guidance on hiring decisions, fundraising strategy, or just thinking through what's next for Neon, they're actually there. That same day, not in three weeks. At Renegade, you get real partnership with the founding partners who are deeply involved in your business.

Working with Renegade has been transformative for Epsilon

 What started as a chance introduction quickly became one of our most valuable partnerships.
Roseanne demonstrated an exceptional ability to grasp not just what we were building, but the deeper market dynamics and opportunity within days of our first conversation. This depth of understanding—combined with her genuine excitement about our vision—made Renegade the obvious choice to co-leed our seed round.
Having an investor who truly understands our space means strategic guidance that actually moves the needle. Roseanne's sharp intellect and market insight have helped us refine our focus, optimize resource allocation, and zero in on the KPIs that matter—plus her involvement has been crucial in closing key hires.

Renegade (n.):

A person who defies convention with purpose and compassion; someone who challenges the status quo not to burn it down, but to build something better in its place. 
A renegade is fiercely independent, clear-eyed in conviction, and grounded in emotional intelligence. They move through the world with audacity, but lead with care. Their rebellion is principled. Their power is human.
