When we think of partnership-with-purpose, Reinventure is the first partner that comes to mind. They have been an invaluable thought partner, trusted advisor and mission aligned capital partner for Zirtue. The leadership and team at Reinventure has not only been there to celebrate Zirtue’s big wins, but they’ve also proactively leaned in when we needed them most.
Dennis Cail
CEO, Zirtue
Partnering with Reinventure has been instrumental in our growth. Their deep understanding of the fundraising process and invaluable insights into how investors think have helped us navigate fundraising confidently. Beyond the financial support, they’ve consistently offered thoughtful advice on structuring deals and have always been incredibly founder-friendly. I truly appreciate their hands-on but not overbearing approach and unwavering support, which has been crucial to our milestones. They have been a true partner.
Josh Itano
CEO, CareCar
Our partnership with Reinventure has been pivotal in Canela Media’s growth. Their thorough due diligence process during our seed round not only strengthened our position but also attracted additional investors. Ed’s role on our board of observers has been invaluable—his professionalism, support, and insightful contributions have greatly benefited our strategy. Additionally, Reinventure played a crucial role in providing bridge financing, which supported us as we successfully closed our Series A, allowing us to maintain momentum during a critical phase. We deeply appreciate their continued collaboration and meaningful impact on our success.
Isabel Rafferty Zavala
CEO, Canela
Partnering with Reinventure has been a pivotal factor in OpConnect’s success. Ed and his team have opened doors to invaluable business connections, including a director-level introduction that directly led to a significant commercial agreement with a key OEM in our industry. As a founder, what truly sets Reinventure apart for me is their genuine interest and investment in my personal goals as well. They consistently go beyond traditional support, aligning with my vision for both the company and my life. Since their initial investment, our revenue has grown 10X, and the professionalism they’ve helped us cultivate has solidified our position as an industry leader. We are excited about our continued partnership with Reinventure and the future we’re building together.
