Mario Amaro 🐶 (The Private Practice Doc)@MarioATX_MDYou have to love it when software just works. No gimmicks, no unnecessary features, just keeping it basic and solving my problem. I recently switched my cap table management software to @AngelList and honestly it’s been awhile since I’ve used a product that was that easy.
