Matt is awesome--we could tell from our first meeting with him that he was super intrigued by what we were building. He spent the meeting truly absorbing our business and gave us pretty good suggestions, which usually never happens. He described our business in a way I've never heard and I thought was super clever. The only potentially negative thing I have to say about Matt is he (like most VCs) is influenced by other people: he heard good things about us from a VC that was investing which is probably why he was so warm to us.

Was intro'd to David and had one phone call. He's clearly sharp and active in the space; however he seemed to jump to some very strong convictions about our business very, very quickly on the call. He was also pretty distracted during the call (which happens) so it was hard to sort of really feel like we were making progress through any of his objections. Overall a fine conversation but not one that I would prioritize for another founder.

Jeff reached out to me expressing interest in learning more about my company. I responded and told him we were at the tail end of our fundraising process but I'd be happy to share more info and find a time to chat given that his check sizes are small. He shared his email which I then followed up with what I'd said that I would. That was it, I never heard from him again which I thought was really quite bizarre - reaching out with interest only to then disappear before even learning much of anything about the company.

Monica gets it. She's getting Kleiner into a lot more early stage deals and has been super supportive. She's strategic and is able to share in your vision from a super early stage, where as some investors struggle at the early stage. Really great investor, pleasure to work with.

Too early for him to invest in what I'm building, but Jean-Paul has been extremely helpful as a thought partner, bouncing ideas off both at a product and a culture/company level. Would very much recommend him!

Kara is extremely smart and strategic. She's been involved in some smart celeb-enabled companies and tech plays. She's been an entrepreneur and learned a ton from Diller during her time at IAC. She's gradually come forward / become more prominent at Upfront. She's generally responsive and I've found her to be really direct. She knows her strengths (generally B2C) and won't push outside her core knowledge base very far. Having worked on projects with her in a couple of different contexts, she definitely is all in for people who are on her team and can be blunt/ unconcerned about things that aren't in line with her goals. I think any team she invested in would be lucky to have her as part of their set of resources.

I have raised over $1mm from over a dozen angels and VC funds and Ryan is, to put it simply, the best in the business. He not only puts you on his syndicate, he reaches out to all the investors necessary to reach your goals for fundraising on the syndicate. He's a workhorse and a consummate professional, and I cannot recommend him enough.

Had couple of meetings with Steve. He took time to understand our platform and our space and offered some valuable advice. He offered to invest but we could not agree on the numbers. We stayed connected and kept going back to him whenever we wanted to brainstorm an idea or needed some external advice. He was always there to help and alway had valuable suggestions. I wish we had taken his money.

Our team had never met Parker McKee prior to a virtual call with him during the pandemic. We had several virtual meetings with him. Parker is bright, personable, and asks great questions. While we did not work with his firm, we think very highly of Parker and he's a great reflection on Pillar (and would be one of the main reasons why we would pick to work with Pillar!). Despite not being investor he has offered to send us candidates and make introductions. He's a true professional and a great person who our team would strongly recommend!

Andy and his firm were supposed to lead our round and negotiated a sweetener for that position, then proceeded to only make 1 intro that didn't lead anywhere. We had angels with considerably less invested giving infinitely more help with bringing on other investors, making connections, etc. His firm also invested in a direct competitor within a few months of investing with us, and didn't even tell us - we had to find out via news. Later, when we were putting together a bridge round, he committed to it if we were able to fill the round, then ghosted us for months and didn't honor his commitment, despite us receiving the commitments he required to do the round. The round fell apart and drove the company into a dire situation. I don't remember him or the firm ever delivering anything of value, to be honest.
