I've had a call with Mario and stayed in touch via email. He's super responsive, clearly did research before the call, and has continued to be helpful without being intrusive. While we didn't move forward with an investment, I found him to be a standout in the process.

STAY AWAY from NEXT Canada. They not only waste your time to no end, they are falsely advertising that they'll fund you, give you customer intros and help you grow. They will do NONE of those things. The "program" that they advertise is essentially a semester of school where professors teach you business 101 and assign you homework - literal assignments that are unrelated to your business. This is great if you're right out of school, but if you've run a company or even worked at a company - this becomes completely useless to you. Getting customer intros to their partner network is basically like pulling teeth. They will not reply to any emails, regardless how many times you ask or they pretend to offer. They also have absolutely no funds available to startups - their fund is dry. There is no funding guaranteed upon acceptance, despite what they're attempting to advertise online. What happens is that you have to apply for cash across several rounds throughout the program, jump through several pitch meetings and get let down midway when the realization hits you that their well is dry as a bone. If you get into NEXT, expect to be ignored, berated and frustrated.

Marketplace marketplace marketplace — he's the guy to go to. Super kind, and very founder friendly — as in founders are literally LPs of his fund. Down to hang, down to riff. The whole 9. Great and straight forward and supportive.

Evan is focused on investing in computer vision, but tends to look at everything with a SaaS / consumer app lens. If you've reached product market fit and are looking to scale up, Evan is responsive and passionate and a fine sounding board. If you're finding your way with a deep tech product his lack of insight and experience relative to savvier boardmembers often shows.

I pitched Patricia after a warm introduction, to which she was very responsive. While Trinity did not invest at the time, she was very courteous and upfront about her reasoning and left the door open to a follow-on conversation at a later stage with specific goalposts. Patricia is one of the more approachable VC's I've interacted with, and I would recommend her to other founders.

Thomas' level of involvement and commitment at the really early stages of the company is instrumental and really shapes the company for the long run. He works closely with the founders teaching them important lessons about fundraising, team building, running a VC-backed business etc. Unlike YC/Techstars and other accelerators, Angelpad keeps the batch sizes very low (12-20 companies per cohort). This helps Thomas pay necessary attention to each company helping them set-up for success
