Misha Esipov, Co-founder & CEO
Fall 2015 Cohort
“Cardinal Ventures gave Nova Credit the start that has helped the business scale to where it is today. The support, mentorship, and strategic advice that we received in those early days gave us a strong foundation and helped us refine our business model to be investor- and market-ready. As first-time founders, that experience was invaluable.”
