John is a smart, supportive and self-aware investor. He gives useful feedback and has made multiple introductions, despite not being on our cap table. Our interactions have always been professional but meaningful. Honestly, I can't think of a negative thing to say. Simply, one of the good ones.

Really great experience with Seth and everyone at his fund. They were very respectful of our time, transparent and made decisions quickly. Very passionate about technology and about finding good people to work with. Diligence process was extensive, but fair.

Chill guy, and very smart. Doesn't just ask cookie cutter VC questions, will ask specifics about the business and brainstorm with you about ideas. I've only done an initial hang out meeting with him and wasn't explicitly pitching him, so my experience is limited to that one interaction which was pretty good.

I don't have much experience with them in terms of how helpful they are as they are not investing in my company right now. But I've had 2-3 very nice conversations with Meghan Cross and she completely understood my vision and what I'm building. Overall she is very professional and asks tough and thoughtful questions. In the end I was disappointed to learn that they were holding off on investing in marketplace because "they just invested in 2 other ones" and want to see how they do before they make another investment. That was disheartening and didn't feel completely transparent. But she asked me to keep her updated which I will and perhaps sometime in the future there might be a better opportunity. This investor does not lead and they write checks for between $100K-$150K

Busy, but I've had very pleasant interactions with Reid each time I've spent time with him.

An odd guy and not value-add. Kind of predatory in that he has invested in companies that were sourced by job candidates and gave neither job offer nor credit to said candidates. Definitely a spray-and-pray firm: if you take their money, good for you, don't expect anything else. There are plenty of people who will write smaller checks and give some sort of support, keep in mind.

Kevin is such a great angel investor! Would highly recommend for early founders to work with him. Kevin is all about the team and knows that ideas can change when you're early. We loved that quality about Kevin and he was able to dream big with us for the world that are trying to build. He's an optimist in the best way. He has an extremely impressive track record as well. He's fairly hands off as an investor but will make intros no problem if requested.

Dharmesh wrote the book on startups (literally). One of our most decisive investors, Dharmesh was clear in his interest from the start and made sure never to waste our time or his. Entire deal, from first contact to wire transfer, was concluded in <4 days/emails. Dharmesh trusts his founders and remained hands-off post investment (so if you want high touch support maybe look for that elsewhere) Overall totally recommend. One of the good ones.
