Unusual's services were a game changer. They got into the trenches with us and helped solve real problems.

The journey for the founders is never easy and it has been immensely valuable to have a strong partner in Unusual Ventures along our side. Wei and the rest of the team at Unusual have been extremely helpful as our company navigates the critical decision points along the way. It would be miserable to make these decisions alone and having Unusual’s support and expertise gives us the confidence that we’re taking the right shots.

I can unequivocally say that the partnership with Unusual Ventures' Founder Services team has been one of the most transformative experiences for Relyance AI. They are hands-on, fighting with you in the trenches and providing support focused on business outcomes rather than just high-level advice. From our earliest days to now, their dedicated support has been nothing short of extraordinary.
