Connected with a supercharger on neonVest, Jaione Maiz (Principal at Healthcare/Life Sciences VC), who referred us to LearnStart VC. Received funding from LearnStart VC.
Problem
Deversify was in the process of raising some capital to finance its growth and development. The advisory aspect was significant because Deversify needed to partner with investors who would understand the solution and its value to the healthcare space.
Solution
The neonVest platform provides a streamlined way for us to have conversations with the right individuals, who can add a lot of strategic value and advice. We were able to get in touch with people who would be the right fit much quicker and more successfully because of the thoughtful curation process of neonVest.
Outcomes
neonVest connected us with Dr. Jaione Maiz, who happens to be a Healthcare/Life Sciences VC. Through understanding Deversify, she not only provided us tremendous value through her advice and insights, but she was also able to make a referral for us to LearnStart VC. This proved to be an excellent match and we were able to secure funding from them.

Closed a $1M funding round.
Problem
“Finding the right investors and advisors is tricky and time consuming. While I attended many pitch and networking events to find VCs and angels with the market knowledge and operating experience to support my B2B fintech business, most of these events didn’t deliver. They didn’t understand what our startup really needed from the advisory or investment perspectives or make introductions to the right people. I usually got introductions to the wrong types of investors and fairly generic advice.”
Solution
“The neonVest platform is a really smart. Based on my company profile, neonVest took dozens of inputs to provide hyper-curated and relevant warm introductions with early-stage B2B-focused VCs in a streamlined and efficient manner. These investors evaluated Conductiv and provided me with valuable guidance on pitch deck structure, positioning, and served as SMEs for the fintech and B2B industry. Some of the connections I’ve made have included senior Partners/Managing Directors at prominent VC funds as well as former CEOs of public companies.”
Outcomes
“As a result of my conversations and the informed perspectives that each supercharger brought to the table, I was able to better understand the early stage fundraising landscape, far better articulate the value of my company and team, and build a powerful network of people that continue to make valuable intros to other stakeholders today. These learnings definitely helped me close a $1MM pre-seed round from the right VCs and angel groups. I recommend neonVest to any early stage entrepreneur!”

Recruited Managing Director at Garage Technology Ventures as an advisor.
Problem
“I don’t know where to start if I want to talk to the right investors or advisors. It’s a maze out there and it takes a ton of time to go through my network, hustle at conferences, or apply to incubators, which often lack the caliber of folks I want to connect with.”
Solution
“neonVest provides an extremely efficient way to facilitate 1-on-1 conversations between myself and highly relevant investors. I was able to speak with them about my business and move ourselves forward.”
Outcomes
“I’ve had a series of conversations with different folks and was able to attain a diversity of perspectives. This has enabled me to 10x my product roadmap, my pitch, and my engagement with other investors. At the same time I was able to establish continuity and ongoing relationships with some of the investors that really clicked with me. I am thrilled that I was able to recruit one of the superchargers, Professor Henry Wong, (Managing Director at DiamondTech Ventures and formerly Garage Technology Ventures) on my advisory board!”
