Santosh (and the Dynamo team) is one of the most supportive and founder-friendly investor out there (in every sense). Time and again he's gone above and beyond to help portfolio companies - super meaningful intros to potential customers/investors/partners, help interviewing the executive team, sounding board, a friend. Basically, he's the investor you can call anytime you're frustrated, need support, bounce off ideas or just celebrate! He's a very vocal evangelist/supporter/promoter for the founders and the companies. Simply put, he's the investor you'd want on your cap table! His investment decisions are quick and he's not afraid to be the first/lead check into the company. He forms his own opinions and is not dependent on signals from other investors. Even though Dynamo is a pre-seed/seed fund, they make follow-on investments acting as a positive indicator for new investors.

Joe is willing to burn founders in search of the absolute best returns possible for his fund. He has blocked acquisitions from happening, re-capped companies, and given fly-by advice. I think he views the world as a chess board, and as a founder you are one of his pieces. If you are considering raising from Joe, I would encourage you to do lots of background research especially with other VCs and companies which have gone through tough times. Also stay away from "co-founding" a company with him -- this is a structure he uses to get more personal equity without the additional risk.

Although running Ascension, Jean is as hands on as possible with his interaction with portfolio companies and potential investments. As one should be, he's always honest and open with founders, but always as clear and swift as possible with responses with the all important why's.

One of the first rejections I got when we were raising our round, so I took his lack of excitement in our idea particularly poorly. I guess in hindsight though he kept it real, which is all you can ask for from an investor. He said he was out and gave us the clear reasons, basically boiling down to his fund staying away from consumer because it's very arbitrary. I kept some merch from his fund though, and I've been putting it in the living room for the past few months so I'd always remember.

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.
