Being an entrepreneur is hard work; it’s a lot of late nights, early mornings, and tough decisions. And as a four-time founder and experienced investor Jeron Paul knows, it can be lonely. That’s why having the right partner on the journey can make all the difference. With his latest venture, Spiff (Acquired by Salesforce), Jeron and his cofounders turned to Norwest and Partner Sean Jacobsohn to lead their Series A. Over the course of a few years, Norwest sourced key deals and executives, and provided strategic guidance on many aspects of the business. “Norwest has shown me that the board can do real, roll-up-the-sleeves work that can massively impact a company’s trajectory. I consider it a competitive advantage,” Read more about our partnership with Spiff. https://lnkd.in/gfG-pA93
Sean is a champ - one of the most value-adding board member I've seen operate. I learned a lot about how a board can help a start-up by watching Sean.

4dGreat post! Starting and scaling a business is definitely a lonely grind—I jokingly call myself "employee zero" when incubating a new company because it’s just me, myself, and I in those early days. Having a partner like Norwest who truly rolls up their sleeves is a game-changer. Inspiring journey!
