Facer nostro causae ei sed. Vix ex quidam detraxit, vis ad nostro laoreet.

Illud decore voluptaria has at. Hinc invenire atomorum no vel. Ut vis nullam blandit neglegentur, omittam perpetua voluptatum qui eu. Iusto laoreet suscipit vis ad, ad ferri tempor duo.

Incredibly generous about potential connections to prospective investors and willing to do the work to make those introductions. Generally makes himself available to the company at a moment's notice. Asks thoughtful questions, but can at times be somewhat strong willed, opinionated and heavy-handed with his recommendations. At times appears to have the interests of his LPs above those of the company.

Josh is extremely friendly, straightforward, and connected — including in circles outside traditional VC like celebrity, politics, and finance. He really tries to be helpful where possible, not just with intros but also with ideas and support staff to help with product and strategy, and they really deliver.

When I was a senior in college and starting my first company, I cold emailed him and he hopped on a call with me. So nice, super welcoming. Provided the emotional support I needed when I was going through the ringer the first time.

Complete waste of time. Little to no insight into one of the primary spaces they invest in. Completely unsophisticated process of ghosting us after asking for all of our materials. When we followed up with them we only got a canned response that they're passing.

Stay away from this partner and this fund — very sketchy. All of their money comes from an international rich family squad, and when I met with them they seemed super willing to stab anyone in the back and also inflated their status quite a bit. Seemed super predatory as investors.

Koby and his partner are not to be trusted. They will copy your startup if they like what you are doing and cannot invest. We were in highly competitive term sheets and Glilot lost the deal. After losing the deal they took our deck and info to a founder who they funded to compete with us.

Anand is quite savvy about the market macros and will give you the right cues. He is quite honest and forthright and makes his opinions known, even if they run contrary to the founder's. A good person to give you the bigger picture when you are in the weeds everyday. He does have a strong viewpoint though, so don't waste your time if he doesn't believe in your idea the first time he sees it.

Nick and the whole team at Differential are stellar. Super founder-friendly. Very responsive. Very well connected. All very smart. And they even help with the nitty gritty of early company process setup. 100% recommend DV as a fund and Nick as an investor.

After asking to reschedule our meeting by a week, he showed up 15 minutes late for our 30-minute meeting, then warned me that he had only 15 minutes. Of course, our 15 minutes was unproductive and a waste of time for everyone. Was unapologetically disrespectful and would not recommend.
