Sam is a great investor, and now a mentor to me. He will continuously try to help in whatever way needed - he has guided us on specific scenarios in security, to general advice on concept and fundraising. And he checks in, and stays hands off.. great balance.

Sam is a high value-add investor. He has a great network and introduced us to many tier-1 angel investors who also participated in our round. Sam gets involved as much or as little as you want him to, which, from a founder perspective, is always good in an early-stage tech startup. He is willing to roll up his sleeves and generous with his time digging deep into operational issues and providing advice based on his diverse domain expertise. Sam is a great asset for any startup and what I would define as smart-money.

"Having had the pleasure of working with Sam in his capacity of strategic and business development advisor for an innovative, tech-driven start-up in the cyber/digitization domain, I can highly recommend his enthusiastic and deeply knowledgeable approach to mentoring and advisory. Sam has repeatedly proven his keen insight in domain-relevant development processes and is capable of succenticly articulating his input to value-creating commercialization initiatives."

To describe Sam in 3 words as an investor I would say "Real smart money". Sam helped our group of companies a lot. He has a very professional approach to investments. His first step is always a deep-dive in the company business. His advice on this stage is of great importance as Sam has a great tech background and at the same time understands market trends. Sam also has a great understanding of the professional and personal skills of team members of startups. Our group has multiple nationalities scattered all over the world. Sam immediately found an approach to all and so different team members. Sam made several investments in the group SPVs at a very early stage that was of great value for our group of companies.
