Hi, we are Austin Rief and Blake Lieberman.

Founders want investors who they can have real, candid conversations with around the nuances of running a business.

“Having operators on your cap table who have recently been through exactly what you’re going through is invaluable. Austin is an investor but his value to ANTENNA goes far beyond that. He’s available 24/7 to troubleshoot any & every challenge I face as a founder”

- Rameez Tase, Founder and CEO of Antenna

Current Operator: "The best founders want to be backed by other founders. They want to know the people they’re taking money from have first-hand experience." - Naval Ravikant

Distribution Knowledge: It is harder than ever to gain an audience's attention. With privacy crackdowns, owning your audiences is becoming increasingly important. Startups should be thinking through how they plan on building organic distribution from day one. We know how to build an engaged audience and understand the value of that audience.

Blake comes from Shrug Capital and is a massive help in expanding the capabilities of the fund – ensuring proper time is spent sourcing deals, meeting founders, doing due diligence, and staying ahead of the market.

The market correction over the past 2+ years is a healthy process for the ecosystem - a lot of the market froth has been washed out of the system while the best entrepreneurs are capturing additional market share. As always, fundamental investing will prevail.

Deals are sourced through our deep network of founders, advisors, co-investors and LPs, among other areas.
