"With Ethos, the partners at GreatPoint Ventures took a very high level concept and refined it into a tight, compelling, three dimensional story and execution strategy.

In addition to being gifted entrepreneurs in their own right, they have demonstrated relentless determination in getting my vision off the ground." Benjamin Link, Founder, Ethos.
