For context: I met with Niv once, via a warm intro from a Shrug portfolio company. He did not invest. I've left 10/10 reviews for other VCs who have not invested, so I consider my 1/10 review to be unbiased by his decision to not invest. Niv showed up to the meeting completely unprepared, acted like meeting was an inconvenience, and asked questions that indicated that he wasn't listening. He then completely ghosted, despite more than enough follow ups (which I know were read since I use tracking). Ghosting before a meeting is ok, I get it, but ghosting after a meeting is disrespectful. Of more than 50 investors I have pitched, Niv is the only one who has done this.

Brayton is a terrific partner to entrepreneurs. He cares deeply about the areas that Boost focuses on - in my case digital assets. He is an extremely positive supporter of his portfolio CEOs and their teams. In digital assets / crypto, this is extremely important, as it is a rough and tumble frontier tech environment. Being able to turn to an experienced, optimistic, pragmatic partner for advice and grounding is critically important. Brayton is also extremely loyal, willing to support through ups and downs. He is someone you want to be in the trenches with.

Bob is notoriously arrogant, opinionated, abrasive and unhelpful. He was somewhat more approachable, eager to learn, and genuinely curious about tech, innovation, and all things new when he left the Obama Administration and joined Venrock. But he's only grown more arrogant, callous, and empty in the years since, and has widely developed a reputation for being in or among the bottom 10% of VC's by behavior.

Erik is the real deal. High energy, incredibly well connected, and is passionate about early stage companies. I highly recommend him to early stage companies looking for the first capital into their business.

Srini has been a great partner and advisor and most every conversation is more focused on our success than on Intel Capital's success. In other words, he is very much a partner to the company and other investors...we are all in the boat together. He makes valuable introductions, stays current with our industry and brings new news and insight. Is clear about what's required for success and how he views a situation.

Predatory VC! Deliberately extended timeline for investment to burn runway. After signed term sheet and two rounds of redlines on the deal docs and a board seat, he came back demanding individual veto rights (as a person not a share class) on hiring/firing executive team, financials, etc. Malicious intent!

Says many words which contain almost no content. He was neutral as an investor in us, neither helping meaningfully with asks or strategy. Oddly shy to help and at times concerning.
