Ameena El-Bibany

RTF is an investor in Aspect Biosystems. Through this investment, I had the great pleasure of working with Ameena. Ameena's strong appreciation and understanding of the underlying science and technology, deep and relevant network in the biotech and frontier technology space, and positive attitude towards startup challenges are huge assets. Ameena has a very bright future in VC and the larger startup ecosystem!

RTF was an early investor in Loop Genomics' Seed round and Ameena was involved since day one, starting from due diligence all the way to being our primary contact at RTF during the past 3 years. Ameena has been super professional, knowledgeable in our domain and very active in making introductions that resulted in early customers/adopters. She was a pleasure working with and I'm looking forward to working with her in the future.

Rising Tide Fund was a key early investor in Precision NanoSystems (PNI) and I had the pleasure of working with Ameena since PNI's Series A financing in 2015. Ameena has consistently been supportive and proactively helpful to our company. She provides additional value to her firm's investment through connecting us within her network and providing helpful advice. She is thoughtful in her approach and has diverse industry knowledge that she is able to apply to her guidance. I look forward to further opportunities to work together in the future.

Ameena was an early champion for my company and was instrumental in helping us raise early capital for our launch. As a follow-on investor, Ameena's broad network and expertise greatly helped bolster our growth. Her thoughtful and warm style of communication makes her a pleasure to work with.

Ameena from Rising Tide Fund in San Francisco invested in the Seed Round at Solarea. I met her at the Illumina Accelerator during our demo day and through a mutual friend developed interest in the company. She is knowledgeable in the microbiome space and is very well connected with the VC ecosystem. Through her contacts, we found a lead investor that has been a great partner that helped us in many aspects of the process along the way. Ameena is very friendly and her positive personality was reflected during the diligence process with constructive and deep technical and business conversations. The relationship with her feels like a partnership rather than transactional making a good VC-entrepreneur experience.
