Transmedia is the most destructive investor in the Bay Area. Most of their portfolio companies won't even speak with them. They have a history of trying to sabotage fundraises in order to play power games and take more ownership. They have a history of failures, and I recommend going elsewhere for any funding needs.

Jason is a huge asset for any company. First and foremost, he knows how to pitch and he will give you brutally honest feedback on yours. It might be hard to hear, but he's almost always right. He also has a ton of experience with early-stage companies, and he can quickly spot weaknesses in your business and give you 2-3 actionable ideas for addressing them. And, of course, he's well-known and super connected. In conversations with other investors, having his name on the cap table carried weight.

All hat, no cattle. After any reasonable conversation, you can tell he’s just full of regurgitated bullshit he read on Twitter. No real experience, nor does he add any real value. Many folks have imposter syndrome, he really is an imposter. Should be an “influencer” rather than a VC, I think deep down that’s what he really wants.

She is smart but she comes from a very niche segment of healthcare, therefore limited in term of macro view of the industry as a whole. Pitch to her if you are building a backend healthcare service that enables incumbent, don't if you are building anything else.

So this is less of an investor review but more of a 'how does he have time to run his company when all he does is tweet all day???' Someone please answer. EOM.

Sarah and the team at Amplify are a delight to work with, and eager to help and build relationships, well before you're actively raising, or even have a company. Sarah has provided many useful intros, and great advice, even though we haven't taken any money from them (yet - my company is still early).

We've spoken to Will quite a few times as we're too early for his fund to invest but he's interested in the space. He's a super to the point guy and doesn't mess around with small talk etc, but has been incredibly helpful despite not knowing us that well (he actually did some backchanneling that got us our current deal with another VC).

Duke is one of those CEOs with a rare combination of big success (he sold his previous company to Microsoft for $100M) and humility. He's one of the most down to earth angel investors you'll ever meet, and is also great at giving tactical day-to-day advice. Both his portfolio companies and his team at TravelBank seem to love working with him.

Worst f---ing pitch ever. This guy walked into the room 20 mins late, stared out the window for the next 20, and walked out 20 mins early for another meeting that he had to take. Total BS for a "top tier" investor like Polaris and definitely not deserving of his reputation. Would NOT recommend.
