“Michael spent the summer of 2018 with UpWest in Israel, and was a valuable member of our team. He is analytical, thoughtful and always willing to go the extra mile. He is wise beyond his years, and has a great way of engaging with startup founders and asking all the right questions at the right time. Michael led the due diligence of many highly technical startups, and was able to distill the specific risks and opportunities they are faced with. Ultimately, this resulted in us pursuing an investment in two of the startups he recommended we invest in. We definitely hope to find ways of working with Michael again in the future. ”
