Kevin is one of the most down to earth, intelligent founder turned VC that exists. You can tell because he doesn't advertise he's an investor. He prefers to be intro'd into any deal. Has helped me immensely and never bails.

Scott is fantastic investor who adds value to his portfolio companies. He knows when to provide input and when to be a sounding board. He's founder friendly and will do everything he can to help companies in his portfolio succeed.

Seems to constantly be in diligence, i.e. even after writing the check, continues to ask unnecessary questions and suck up team bandwidth addressing issues that only she has. Does not serve as a positive champion for the company when recruiting key employees. Fails to make solid introductions to potential customers and/or investors.

Misha has been a great partner and is everything a founder could ask for in a VC. He is always there for executive introductions and strategic brainstorming but is also willing to get into the weeds when we ask for help. I sleep better knowing that Misha/his firm is on our cap table and that we have their full support. Would recommend Misha to any early-stage entrepreneur looking for a long term partner.

Very unresponsive bordering on disrespectful. Has some thoughtful feedback around fundraising strategies. Breakthrough's mandate is inflexible and somewhat unrealistic and overly burdensome.

Arik is not to be trusted. Can't keep his word. Not prepared and strings you along. Took money from him once and never again.

Scott is extremely kind and empathetic. He is an impact angel investor, so go to him if you need money not on the typical VC timeline -- he's more patient, well connected, and incredibly supportive.

Vik was one of the first investors to believe in our company from inception. Many funds say they are willing to be one the first checks in, Vik and Maggie actually follow through. Helpful from investor introductions, story telling, listening and providing a very human approach. The biggest problems with founder and investors is the dynamic of power and fear. Vik and Maggie care deeply for each of their founders. You feel there are in it with you and truly love helping the company and the people succeed. Empathy, intelligence, patient, etc. If you are a company looking for true investor value, GCVC is the future of VC.
