I've met Joanne a few times over the years, and found her to be one of the few people in the industry who actually care. The first time I met her, my startup was struggling. She was simultaneously incisive and quickly realized the problems we were having (which prevented her from investing), but also caring and was kind with her time in trying to help. We kept in touch over the years, and every time I've spoken with her, I felt like I learned something valuable and also like she saw me as an actual human and not just a company with a dollar sign in front of it.

Jon Callaghan has been an ideal partner for growing my business from seed to exit. There were multiple times where he could have optimized for himself or the VCs in general, and he always chose the path that was in the best long term interest of the company. I have already worked with him a second time which is the strongest vote of confidence I gave someone.

Stay away from Jennifer and this firm at all costs. They would make promises and then ghost. They are total time wasters and rarely follow through. Your time is better spent with sincere, hard working VCs who care about founders.

Steve is an incredible investor. He's been on the Midas List for the last nine years. He was my lead investor and served on my board. He is extremely smart, honest, and cares about the founders he supports. He has a great track record of helping his founders sell or IPO their companies. He's a one-investor shop, so don't expect a lot of his time. He came to all of our board members and replied to calls/emails, but isn't super hands on. I would definitely work with Steve again.

Doesn't know the healthcare world as much as she thinks she does. Makes comparisons to irrelevant companies or imagines trends where none exist. Unfortunately her superficial knowledge trumps a founders deep knowledge.

Luis was one of the rare investors that was kind, friendly, and understanding. I first met him in 2011 when we were fundraising (but were too early for it). He was incredibly helpful and would be an awesome resource for anyone looking to raise money.

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.

My experience working with this investor is hot and cold. In some ways, his experience and network can be very valuable, however his temperament makes him very unpredictable and difficult to work with, especially when there are challenges. His bullheaded nature often sidelined important board discussions, which led to impulsive decisions that were ultimately harmful to the company. I’d highly encourage anyone thinking about taking money from this fund to keep there check size smaller as to not give them any influence in the company’s operations or find investors that are more founder friendly.
