"Seven Stars has been an invaluable partner to Corgi. Steven has been with us since our seed round, when we were a stealth YC startup, through our growth into a category-leading company. I would highly recommend the Seven Stars team to any founder looking for a rare combination of strategic judgment, deep investor relationships, and unwavering, founder-first guidance."

"Quick chat about the VCs we chose to work with in our impossibly oversubscribed round: @SevenStars_VC. @stevenl helped founders raise billions at SV Angel, and recently launched Seven Stars with a powerful thesis: AI should transform life for all 8 billion people, not just knowledge workers. He's a first-generation founder who deeply understands the founder journey. He delivers spot-on fundraising advice and opens his entire network (and yes, he knows everyone)..."

"Seven Stars was the first institutional VC to commit to Dialogue AI, even before a lead investor emerged. Once Steven committed, he helped us navigate an intense fundraising process that culminated in an oversubscribed round. What I respect most about Steven is his conviction; he forms his own view independent of others, and that belief and vision is something I admire about Seven Stars."

"Steven has been part of the Longeye journey since day zero, before we even incorporated the company. Seven Stars was our first investor and a steady guide through our seed fundraise. He has gone above and beyond, showing up at the pivotal moments that shaped our team and our company. Steven has brought urgency, clarity, and the right introductions at exactly the right time for Longeye."

"Seven Stars was the first investor to back us when we had only a deck and an early prototype. Steven's conviction gave us immediate market credibility. He is always available for conversations, whether we are discussing hiring plans for key roles or shaping customer direction, often staying on calls as late as 10 or 11 pm. Joe and I are fortunate to be part of the Seven Stars family."
