Tom Hirschfeld (New York Angels Member) - Investing, Co-Leading, and Joining the Board of ProSentry
In this brief segment, Tom Hirschfeld recounts his involvement with a startup called Procentri (referred to in the video title as ProSentry). He explains how he and Stephen Tamaras first identified the company, brought it to the New York Angels network, and co‑led a $2.5 million financing round alongside Michael Costa, with the angels contributing $1 million including fund capital. Tom notes that Tom Blum performed extensive due‑diligence leveraging his expertise, and that many angel members asked probing questions and engaged deeply. After the investment, Tom joined Procentri’s board, facilitated introductions to two sponsor partners—Wytham and Insperity—and helped the company achieve its first month of $1 million in sales, attributing this growth to the collective value‑add of the angel group.
