Matt is interested in A.I. and I don't have a reason to doubt that he understands the technology, but can't confirm it either. He's helped other startups for a retainer that have liked his contributions. He has a very strong moral compass and is appropriately clear about that. I hope to engage him in the near future about raising money. I believe he can be a small Angel investor and hopefully has a network on next level Angels and Seed Stage investors.

I was won over because he was an operator, and really struggled with his own company as a CEO. Rare to see that type of empathy from an investor. Ultimately, Josh is independent, has a lot of conviction and really gets how to run a company. The fact that he doesn't have any outside pressure/partners, he has the freedom to not do any harm.

Had one meeting with him, he was very okay. Not un-kind but also not that remarkably welcoming. Offered to help, but at the end never ended up taking it.

I honestly don't trust Sharla and I validated that when talking to other founders. At a surface, she doesn't have any investing power. She tends to rescheduling calls a lot without notices as well. Sharla has very little operating experience beyond working shortly as a project manager at Uber and an analyst from a firm. The lack of industry knowledge really shows during conversation with her. Would not recommend her as a strong board member.

I've been working with Ilya for a few years now. Even before we officially started working together he helped us think through early product strategy. His product leader / operator experience is real. Both at a high growth startup as well as rebuilding an iconic VC firm. He's been a full time VC long enough to know when to push and when to let us execute. If I were starting another company again tomorrow, Ilya would be my first (investor) call. Only reason I'm 9/10 is because Ilya taught me when rating our own team we probably have never experienced a 10/10 team. Always room to improve.

All VC's say that they want to partner with your business. Baris and the Human Capital team are legitimate partners to you, its almost like having co-founders. They blend the personal and the professional, so that you find strategic insights and a friendly shoulder to help stomach the highs and lows in working with them. They are good, genuine, and loyal people who have your back and will really sit down and help you. For example, I struggled with telling my story as a founder and for my company, and they spent countless nights at my house working draft scripts and giving me feedback. They are great, I'd recommend getting them in if you can. I've referred other founders to them that have said the same thing.

You’ll never come across another individual like Jai Malik. Connector, builder, friend, encourager, catalyst, and the list goes on and on. When you meet a partner in a mentorship role that will go to bat for you even when you’re not directly benefiting their forward movement, keep them around. Jai consistently communicates with me to understand and plan out tactical next steps to both problems and successes that come my way. As a pre-seed start up founder, I have needed a lot of direction and context to establishing the right get to market strategy in the world of food and beverage. While introductions are a dime a dozen, valuable intros with active followup and investment make the difference between good Partners and the rest. Jai builds networks but also community and I look forward to seeing his ambition and good nature lay the foundation for a very successful first fund.
