Tom is a member of the board and an active investor at BayIQ.

Howard is the man. What I respect about Howard (and his partner Tom Peterson at Social Leverage) is the amount of due diligence they did for a relatively small investment in us. After our initial meeting with them, they sent us tons of questions and we returned a 6 or 7 page document to them...more with answers. It was obvious from the beginning that these guys were smart and cared enough to really dig into our business. Howard and Tom are the types of investors we love to have on board our team. Plus Howard's tweets make me laugh.

Howard has helped us no end and he believed in us as founders before the product really emerged. Having Howard on your team is a must.

Howard is of the most helpful investors I've worked with, and I regularly recommend him, particularly in the fin-tech space. A+
