They seemed like clowns to me (including calling to ask us to come pitch, setting up a time, and then forgetting about it when we showed up). Seeing them at industry events they didn't seem like they knew what they were doing. So how did they get LPs?

I don't know what the pitch was prior to "I turned $100k invested in Robinhood into $20 million of paper gains" but I think I have a pretty good idea of the conversation after.

They were only managing $64M, that's not exactly significant.
