A good investor is a silent but power founder. They’ll accelerate and help define the company’s future like a supportive sibling. A bad investor, however, plants a toxic seed that slowly poison the vision and the team. Anne is the good investor.

Parable sounds like it's set to weave the kind of narrative that doesn't just echo, but evolves. The true magic of a brand is in making its ethos feel inevitable, like it was always meant to be. Here's to stories that transcend the moment and resonate through time. 🎉✨

dara and I have loved working with Anne for the last year. there are few people that I have met who are as universally respected as she is, and her reputation is well deserved. to my founder peers - I hope you get the chance to work with her!

it's hard to imagine everyone not having an AI companion to replace that "expert" in their friend group fitness, dating, jobs, finance this is the consumer AI land grab race is on 🏎️

Anne's super power is to find special founders when they are early, raw, and have a kernel of greatness that others don't recognize. I have met so many founders that deeply appreciate how she was the first investor to believe in what they do and helped them to pull the greatness

Anne Lee Skates this is really, really cool <3. wishing you well anne. (for those curious -- anne found me when i was 23 and i had no idea what i was doing. she helped me figure out everything from how to make a pitch deck to locking in a16z back in the day. forever indebted!)

Anne Lee Skates is a phenomenal investor & person We met when we were both at the start of our fundraising / solo GP journeys & Anne quickly became a friend and confidant She's someone I go to for advice and support regularly so I know how lucky founders are to work with her ❤️

A beautifully simple site from Parable. Tasteful parallax, timeless type, and a palette that nails the vibe. Still undefeated when it's done right.

I've watched Anne Lee Skates since she was working with me Floodgate. Even then she pushed me to be better, work harder, think smarter. I'm so excited to see her debut Parable and even more excited to have the chance to work with her again!👏👏👏

Very much in the camp of thinking humans will be directing genius, highly productive AIs around versus the inverse. Future feels bright.

We at Parable & Susa Ventures hosted a poker night with Alfred Lin, Chad Byers 🦍, Ali Partovi & Anne Lee Skates, alongside rising young builders from xAI, OAI, Interaction, Etched, Cognition. What excites me most is how many of these young operators are eager to build in
