TX led our first round (a $1M pre-seed) and was the key person in making our second two (a $5M seed and $15M series A) happen. When we first met I liked him but didn't really know what to expect — he's a buttoned-up guy and seemed like a typical VC. In working with him, though, I've been just blown away: he's the hardest-working person I know and went to bat for us in SUCH a big way at every stage: quarterbacked our funding rounds, arranged venture debt on amazing terms, closed key hires, etc. When I told him I wanted to have kids before long he encouraged me to sell some shares in secondary so we could afford it and helped me negotiate to make it happen. When I thought we might need to haircut Fika's pro rata to get a great investor at Seed, TX was *incredibly* kind about it and volunteered to do it (while smaller investors were jerks). Every Series A investor in America seems to know and love him (I've had partners at a16z/Sequoia/etc. sing his praises) and he's also just a wonderful guy on a persona level. Absolutely could not recommend more highly.

Roger took the time to learn about me and our company. He provided support and guidance during our early stages even though he was not invested. He is honest and transparent. Roger was very fair and stuck to his word during our due diligence process. I am extremely excited we were able to get a deal done with Roger at Silverton and looking forward to the future.

Kofi is a great investor! He comes from both sides of the table and leverages his network in the consumer space to make thoughtful introductions, help with hiring, and ultimately, open up doors. He has a high level of empathy and is great at maintaining relationships. To conclude, he is also very supportive of diverse founders.

I met Priya virtually after she reached out. We had a good introductory call that led to multiple calls with her and her team at Mayfield. I have great respect for their process but it went left after they did customer interviews. She said they needed to have a in-person meeting prior to submitting a term sheet which I actually respected no one is wiring millions of dollars to founders they have never met even in a pandemic. After a few calls I started to get a weird feeling she was texting me during the day with follow up questions and then all of the sudden there was radio silence. I think transparency is key in VC and if you cannot get full buy-in from your partnership you should not take founders through multiple hour long calls as well as get real customers to talk with you unless you are definitely going to put a term sheet on the table. Maybe it's the fund but this is a very old school way to get deals done and it leaves a bad taste in the mouth as a very busy founder trying to run an effective fundraising process.

Sooah is a rising star in the VC world. Among the firms we spoke to, she was the most engaged and offered to help us on many levels. Her expertise in digital health is very outstanding, and she was happy to make strategic referrals for us off the cuff. I would love the opportunity to work with Sooah in the future, both as an investor and advisor.

Gil is super smart and a perfect fit for pre-seed/seed stage. His ability to analyze markets and deduct positioning is amazing. He treats every investment like his own personal company and as a result, he is there for you 24/7. At the same time, I don't like he is forcing me to do anything that isn't in my best interest.

Unfriendly and dismissive. Intellectually inflexible. Complete unwillingness to stray outside of her own operational experience. I was grateful that after a few calls and a bunch of emails she ghosted me. I don’t care how strong of a brand they’ve got at Kleiner Perkins I wouldn’t take a cent from this type of investor.

We met about a year ago and I reached out to check-in as we were starting our fundraising process. We did an initial call, I sent over requested information (a deck). Nearly two months pass go by and I get a pretty much canned email that "you have probably" raised by now. This is the clear bad signs of a VC. Especially with no real reputation with new fund it shows why they won't be a top tier fund. Two months of ghosting to then just say you probably raised and that you focus on the actual round we are on just caught me as weird & I would not want to work with someone that flippant.
