​We could not have asked for a better partner than FirstMile Ventures.  Bill and Aaron believed in the company from the very beginning in 2015, and their support has never wavered.  As a CEO, their insights have been invaluable in helping us navigate the challenges of early-stage ventures.

The FirstMile Ventures team has been a great investor. They caught on to our vision very early and have supported us ever since. They are easy to do business with and have a very lean and frictionless process.  I recommend them regularly to my peers.

​FirstMile Ventures was one of our first institutional investors, and was an invaluable resource in our path to Series A.  Aaron Stachel was extremely active and supportive throughout that period – always quick with ideas, advice and important introductions.  I can’t imagine a better partner for early stage funding.

​FirstMile Ventures is unquestionably the right firm for us.  Bill Miller is smart, creative, well connected and a genuine pleasure to work with.  He’s been on both sides of the fence, so he totally gets what it takes to start, build and grow a tech company.  Aaron knows his stuff, networks like crazy and gets things done.  They are a great firm to have on your team.

​Bill and Aaron quickly recognized the value in the Hashgraph technology and team, and they were the first VC to make an investment.  Their on-going involvement has helped the company grow from an idea to a recognized global leader in distributed ledger technology.
