Okay, so here's the thing — he knows his shit. Super wise, has been in the ringer for a very long time. Taught me a lot of valuable advice that I will take with me for the rest of my life. Was incredibly helpful when I was going through some M&A drama back in the day. With that said, I've heard so many different reviews about how not founder-friendly he is that I'd stay away from taking his money. Has a reputation of firing his founders (has treated my friends who he invested in poorly)

I had quite a bad experience with Reinhart Capital. They leave you with the impression that you as a founder don't understand anything. It wasn't by all means a conversation on an equal footing and very uncomfortable. Can't recommend.

Snita was thoughtful and took great care to help me re-work our pitch deck to be ready for IC. She felt like a real partner in the process. While they ultimately passed on us, she was considerate and transparent the whole time.

James is very smart and made a strong effort to learn the subject matter on his own time. He is an extremely tough negotiator. Hopefully he is negotiating on your behalf.

Tom and I met on a virtual networking HH. I followed up with him and had a few calls. He was warm, helpful, and gave me good feedback.

Jason is a thoughtful, kind investor who's always trying to be supportive. He's most helpful when making connections for you, but he's also great to talk through strategy with.
