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.

    — Marcie Black, CEO/Founder, Advanced Silicon Group

  • 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.

    — Penelope Finnie, CEO, Egal Pads

  • As a life sciences start-up, chances are that you will get knocked down a few times. It takes investors like Cherrystone to understand the opportunity when there is just a little light and a lot of tunnel … and then provide support during the entire journey

    — Radu Pislariu, CEO, Laurent Pharmaceuticals
