Legitimately one of the worst VC meetings I've ever had in my life. Our company is a very clear fit in terms of thesis with the Albertsons Fund and she'd heard about us through another Venture Partner at Greycroft. She was disrespectful and asked questions that really made me question her expertise. Super negative energy.

Met once with Jesse while raising a seed round for my startup ‒ great experience. I was introduced to him by another MP at IA Ventures. While he didn't end up investing, he asked all the right questions for a seed stage company raising capital. He took the time to really dive deep into the market and offered an intro to another investor he thought might be a better fit when he decided to pass. I got the impression that he is very intentional and thoughtful about decision-making. Overall, seems like a great guy.

Very misleading and unpleasant experience. The fund put up an offer while not being sure about the industry & pulled the offer a week later. We've gotten "No's" in a respectful, civilised manner, but this was definitely nothing even close to it. To other founders, I'd strongly suggest to stay way from Superangel and not lose time and nerves. Putting up a fake investment offer is highly disrespectful approach among other negatives in such action.

Naomi was an absolute joy to work with. She was super enthusiastic, kind, and respectful. Naomi and her team introduced us to multiple potential customers throughout the fundraising process, which showed the kind of partner she would be post-investment.

Reshma was a huge disappointment. We were excited to present in front of her and the Seedcamp team. The whole experience felt like a cattle call. They do not pay attention, are classist. She showed up late, in a very crappy mood. Seedcamp has a strong brand, but it's just branding. I would never let them invest in my company, no chance in hell.

My company and I had a bunch of meetings with Nick and his team. They expressed a lot of interest and requested lots of info over the course of several months as part of "diligence." But eventually they ended up passing. It left us scratching our heads a bit because we don't really have any surprises in our diligence docs, but we figured it might have been a one-off incident. But since then, other companies have shared similar stories where they were told they were in diligence and spent a lot of time on deep dives, only to have New Stack pass. They seem like good enough guys, but I'd be cautious about spending too much of your time/energy on "diligence," because you're likely still very early in their process.

Pat is fairly young but I've found him to be a great investor. He supported us as we went through quite a slow pivot. He never panicked or became difficult to work with. He has worked hard to make useful introductions and has offered up quite a lot of interesting ideas. He's also well plugged into silicon valley and can get to pretty much anyone I wanted to talk to. I really like his firm, Amity, and his partners CJ and Peter. I've independently referenced them with other founders and they came out really positive.

We met with Andrew last year for our seed round. He's a nice enough guy, but a massive waste of time. Every meeting, he drones on and talks forever. He took us through a 5-6 meetings over the course of 3 weeks, a few really strange midnight calls, mentioned a term sheet & specific deal terms several times, and eventually passed because of a product related issue he knew about in meeting #1. I didn't care that he passed, I was more frustrated with just how much of my time he wasted to pass for such a basic reason. Pretty much the definition of an unsophisticated investor.

Every interaction with Lachy has been nothing less than stellar. I've also never heard anything bad about him - which surprises me, that's not supposed to happen.
