"The Metamorphic process has been one of the most encouraging and useful that I have experienced. The team demonstrated enormous flexibility and insight as we refined our positioning and business model. Every partner offered resources, counsel, and expertise at every stage of development thus far. We never felt like just another company in the portfolio - Metamorphic took time to understand the specifics of our business."

Rich Caccappolo, CEO
Orca

"Many VCs show up in Board meetings to ask the entrepreneur smart questions about what the plan is. Post meeting they do a couple of introductions and they think their job is done. Metamorphic works extremely hard on behalf of the entrepreneur every day in between board meetings – and thanks to their deep industry experience and operational background they will help answer questions for you instead of just asking them. They have very high level relationships and we see them as extended team members and not as our investors. Plus I would happily spend my free time together with them outside of work."
