'Then a minion principle, now a partner,' in Hare's affectionate dictation; the 2017 NEA deal's diligence engine
This is Jonathan Hare's account, with its provenance shown. The person or organization named has not yet claimed or corrected it.
Aaron Jacobson ran the due diligence on the 2017 NEA investment — ten calls, by Jonathan Hare's count, after the ninety-minute birthday meeting with Scott Sandell, with the deal done before reunion. Hare's dictation renders his then-rank as 'a minion principle, now a partner,' and the record keeps the affectionate spelling in the source while noting he is now a partner at the firm. Scaffolding; his account is invited.
