The claim, plainly

DevSlopes raised roughly $300,000 in angel funding from Redfoo of LMFAO.

a quote alone can be ambiguous, so this restates it with the references and context of the conversation around it resolved. AI-written; the tape below the player is the source.

Assessment

While there is documented public collaboration between Devslopes and Redfoo (Stefan Kendal Gordy) between 2016 and 2018—including co-branded iOS tutorial courses, an August 2017 video by Redfoo crediting Devslopes for ARKit development, and a June 2018 meetup hosted at Redfoo's residence—there is no public documentation confirming or refuting an angel investment of approximately $300,000. No SEC Form D filings exist for Devslopes or Gordy, venture databases (Crunchbase and PitchBook) contain no record of the transaction, and neither Gordy nor Devslopes publicly confirmed the terms of any equity or angel investment. Because private angel financing can occur without public disclosure and cannot be verified through available public records, the claim cannot be definitively settled.

SEC EDGAR database search shows no Form D filings for Devslopes, Devslopes LLC, or Stefan Kendal Gordy (Redfoo).
Neither Crunchbase nor PitchBook lists an angel funding round of ~$300,000 from Redfoo into Devslopes prior to September 2017.
Public records confirm an active professional relationship and promotional collaboration between Devslopes and Redfoo in 2016–2018, but no public statements confirm an equity or angel investment.
