Exciting things!
We took a short break, but we have some cool stuff in the works—on top of founder interviews, the Partners over here at Crescent have started blogging and highlighting their thoughts on different industries. This week we’ve got Luca Traverso’s (UCLA Partner) exploration of PropTech and Joe Sassi’s (UCLA Anderson Partner) interview with Dio Technologies.
As always, if you have any ideas about how we could improve this newsletter, please email us at ops@crescentfund.vc – and if you like what you see, we’d love it if you could share this with others.
Sincerely,
The Crescent Team
