FEATURED TESTIMONIAL
I have known Bill Woodward for over 7 years and he was one of the first people I approached when I started Siperian. Anthem has been involved from the very beginning.
They helped drive our Series A round, brought in additional value-added investors, aided in defining some of the early strategy, and assisted in rounding out the executive team.
Bill, and the rest of the team at Anthem, work and think like entrepreneurs to get things done in early-stage companies.
