Feedback from our portfolio companies:

    Cherrystone were lead investor for our Seed round. The Cherrystone team is diverse and experienced. They have helped guide us through licensing agreements, introduced us to potential customers, and contributed to our product development. We look forward to having them as long-term partners.

    Working with Cherrystone has been a very important part of our growth. The investors are engaged and really helpful with issues beyond funding. RI is quite remarkable in that way… a very small place with a tremendous concentration of concerned people who are connected. This makes for a tremendous ecosystem.

    Cherrystone Angels believed in Flourish Care early on and showed up as true partners. Beyond capital, they brought strategic guidance, meaningful connections—including an exceptional board member—and steady support as we transitioned to and negotiated our priced seed round. Most importantly, they have stood alongside us in our mission to transform maternal health by expanding access to high-quality doula care for families who need it most.
