Their time and commitment are second to none. They are always available to talk when I need advisory. Rare to find this level of expertise, engagement and support. In any areas where I need additional expertise, they have been able to reach out to their network to fill in the gaps.
They have been there as founders, have foresight, and understand our challenges. As a result, they are patient and offer sound actionable advice we can implement to make improvements. The team has reasonable yet proactive expectations about our timeline for growth. They understand that it takes time to earn a profit. Six Dragonflies has the quality of thinking long-term and can see the bigger picture of my company.

I was introduced to Yvonne and Stacy at the Women’s Venture Summit and just loved their enthusiasm and eagerness to get started. They have really made their mark here in the Southern California investor ecosystem.
Yvonne and Stacy jumped right into the ecosystem, joining the inaugural San Diego Angel Conference. They are now one of the co-fund managers of 2020’s San Diego Angel Conference. Six Dragonflies was selected for the Investor on The Rise Award at Women’s Venture Summit. They are united with a vision for getting women entrepreneurs and investors to even. We are so excited to have them in our Southern California angel network.
The minute she heard about OSEA over two years ago, she has been a proud advocate and vocal champion of our mission. Her energy is infectious and inspires women to learn, connect and invest. We are elated that she is a member!
