🔥 BERNIE'S HOT TAKE

Aperture is the rare fund where the technical chops actually match the marketing. Aditya brings legitimate engineering credibility from Dropbox and Facebook, which matters when you're evaluating developer tools or infrastructure plays. Scott's operational experience shows up in their portfolio support - they actually help with go-to-market execution rather than just making intros. The Philadelphia base means less competition for deals but also a smaller local network. They move fast on technical diligence but can be tough on business model assumptions. Portfolio founders consistently mention their hands-on approach post-investment, though some note they can be overly involved in product decisions.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
  • Best for: Technical founders building B2B infrastructure or dev tools
  • Watch out for: Heavy involvement in product roadmap decisions
  • Known for: Fast technical diligence and strong post-investment operational support
