"A whirlwind, a Tessmanian Devil, if you will. Tess is truly an impressive and unrelenting entrepreneur, investor, and advisor. I had the pleasure of being introduced to Tess through mutual relationships and was really not expecting to meet such an engaging and approachable person.
Working with Tess happens typically in two stages. First, she takes her time trying to actually get to know and follow up with the founder of a prospective investment. She won’t just invest because you showed a pretty deck, but she will actually spend the time learning about you and what you do, and that is already more than most investors do. So, if your crypto or blockchain project is not up to par, you may be out of luck. But once she gives the green light, a deal is made nearly instantly.
I was fortunate enough to also have Tess join Ultrade as an advisor and have seen firsthand what a whirlwind she really is, making introductions to other VCs, even late night, if that is when a short window of opportunity arose. With her relationships both in the U.S. and in several countries in the Asian and Mid-East markets, Tess is able to open many doors not just with investors, but for partnerships with exchanges, marketing and more.
On a personal note, I can say that Tess is very generous with her time and energy and is fun to work with, which is important. Life is too short, so stick with people you enjoy working with."
