MPower's participation into our cap table has been an important turning point since our founding as well as opportunity for further growth. Their support goes beyond that of an investor, connecting us to a wide and global network which has been valuable to us beyond measure. The "M" in "MPower" comes from the founding GPs' maiden names. My co-founding brother and I also share this in our last name "Matsuda", and we are honored to be part of this MPower family. We intend to continue growing and create "M"iracles! My sincere thanks and respect to the MPower team.

Since their investment, MPower team has not only consistently made time for regular, thoughtful discussions, they have been incredibly responsive to ad-hoc requests - allowing us to make swift, confident decisions. As an external Board member, their support is very expansive. They also challenge us on “What will it take to scale to 10 billion? To 100 billion?”, and we receive their confidence in us as a source of motivation. We're excited to continue forging new ground together in the next stage of our journey.
