This guy is a big deal. Hard to get a meeting with, his assistant scheduled it a month and half out in advance. Very chill in person and the Benchmark office in SF was quite nice. Haven't worked directly with him, but he had some interesting theses, particularly around empowering developer ecosystems.

Honestly the word that comes to mind is refreshing. In a VC world of Patagonia vest wearing “investors” who literally can’t think for themselves, Carl is exceptional. Thinks rationally and pragmatically, extremely generous with his time, level headed. The kind of investor you’d be equally happy crushing a beer or surfing with as you would be sitting through a board meeting. If you ever get the chance to work with him, I recommend you do so.

Evan is an 11/10 partner. While he's currently investing, his background as an ex-founder (DoorDash) and early employee at a high growth company (Opendoor) makes him an invaluable partner. He always makes himself available to help us with anything we need from fundraising and hiring, to product and growth strategy. Incredibly grateful to work with Evan.

Tim is an outstanding seed investor in the way he evaluated the opportunity and takes bets where most people do not see potential immediately. He has always helped us get connected to people in his network when requested, has participated in multiple rounds. Very supportive of the founder.

The only YC partner in our group that gave us useful advice. The other partners never fully tried to understand our idea or build on what we were telling them. He has seen the gamut of companies and pattern-matches with blinding speed. Has a special talent for pointing out solutions that are rational but non-obvious. Really helps you think. There's a lot of pressure to book office hours with other YC partners because he's so hard to get in touch with (just had a kid), but he's there when you need him.

Ankur aspires to be a partner to the founder and be as helpful as he can be. He's trustworthy, open and honest and a good person to work with. His fund invests only in early stages of a company and Ankur is willing to roll up his sleeves and help out with whatever is needed. I valued Ankur's inputs and would reach out to him regularly to discuss, brainstorm and sometimes just talk things out. He was always available and spent the time and energy.

Andi constantly gives and learns from his surrounding. His intuition for the next big thing and his ability to unpack and create values strategically set him apart from the others.

Cassidy is terrifically knowledgeable about the HR tech, staffing, and future of work spaces. She's always responsive (rare for investors!) and eager to help, even when there's not much immediately "in it" for her. Can't recommend her strongly enough.

We believe that there are always two sides to every story and accountability goes both ways, so we want to allow for investors to respond to their own reviews. Please navigate to the link below to leave a reply.
