I’m Daniel, co-founder of Mara. Michael was one of our first investors. He comes to conviction quickly and with confidence. He has just enough technical background in your area to be dangerous. He’s the investor I feel most comfortable calling out of the blue to talk about just about anything. Best hype man ever. Reasonable advice always. Will let you know if you need more expertise on something than he has. Michael is super plugged into the deep tech and defense startup ecosystems, and keeps helpful introductions flowing. He’s also just delightful to know.

Chester Zelaya - Founder of Droneforge, We turn drones into autonomous agents capable of real actionable work. Michael is: > A true savant when it comes to finding undiscovered talent > Incredibly connected to the right people > A go-getter and someone always looking to be helpful > Highly attentive to the little details > Kind-hearted, genuine, and authentic He is a true MVP in early stage cap tables, and an indomitable teammate. Would 100000% recommend him to any early stage founder.

I'm Joshua, CEO & co-founder at Hero. Michael believes deeply in every single one of his founders. He's been one of my biggest supporters and is always enthusiastic about our wins. When things are down, he is always there to support a helpful hand and lend an ear when I need to talk. You want Michael in your corner because he will be there for you when everyone else has left. Michael gets early stage, precisely because it's all about the people - all about the founders, and he relentlessly believes in his founders. I can't recommend Michael enough, and I am grateful that he took a chance on me.

Michael Shor is the real deal. Despite the distance (I'm based in Tel Aviv), he has always been super accessible and supportive. His business advice has been a lifesaver (multiple times) and he always brings a positive energy to the table.

Michael's been consistently helpful by providing product feedback, inviting new users, and talking to users, even before he got allocation. Would always recommend taking him on.
