Founder

Michael is one of the few people you meet in life who are truly special. Not only is he extremely knowledgeable and talented at finding the best founders at the earliest stages, but he goes out of his way to help, support, and guide in any way possible. It is with his support that I believe many founders, including myself, have been able to realize what is possible. He is someone you can reach out to at any time, and you can be confident that he will always be there to help. I can say with certainty that he has opened countless doors for me. He is extremely well-connected, resourceful, and pays close attention to detail. Most importantly, at the end of the day, he is genuine and he cares. He is the person you want as a partner on your journey. If you are building something big and ambitious, look no further.

Michael Shor rocks. His network in this startup landscape is massive and intertwined, he seems to know everyone. He found me and convinced me to take his money so I think that says enough. I like working with him and the best founders I know took money from him too..

Michael is the biggest champion and advocate among our investors. Highly recommended for how founder focused he is. 10/10, no notes!

Michael Shor was too early, too supportive, too earnest, too plugged-in, too excited, too everywhere, and too founder-friendly. Do not recommend unless you're building something big.

Daniel Kofman

CEO

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.

Joshua Voydik

CEO & co-founder of Hero

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.

Had a terrific zoom w/ @miamishor (center ⬇️) he’s a talented 1st time VC fund Mgr w/a unique humanity in his ability to spot talent & build trusted relationships w/founders. It’s his superpower. But our convo reinforced that we’re all storytellers figuring out what our story is.
