Had couple of meetings with Steve. He took time to understand our platform and our space and offered some valuable advice. He offered to invest but we could not agree on the numbers. We stayed connected and kept going back to him whenever we wanted to brainstorm an idea or needed some external advice. He was always there to help and alway had valuable suggestions. I wish we had taken his money.

Andreas is great on the tactical and broader/strategic issues and has never failed to respond with good advice every time I've asked. Zero bullshit.

Daniel Gross's fund (Pioneer.app) is focused on pre-seed stage. Speaking of this, the overall package (+200K valued offer + network in SV) is tremendous for tech startup at an early stage with very little traction. Very different from the majority of investing community, Pioneer.app is a weekly tournament, free and open to everyone from all countries. It's a fun experience and tournament community is supportive, especially for those just get things off the ground. Highly recommend for founders.

Great reputation in the Boston startup ecosystem and very well-connected. Bob and his partner Andy are great advisors that invest early in startups

Alan moves quickly, but will leak all of your shit. Remarkable quiet when things get hard, and also seems to have really high emotional valence which gets taken out on founders. I'd avoid, the last year seems to have destroyed him as a resonable investor.

Anant is one of those super connector types. He's got a great network of young founders/cool entrepreneurial people that he'd be happy to connect you with.

We got a meeting with him once — after he moved it around over and over again. And once were asking him and how he was doing he said 'you can find out more about me from my podcast.' It just left a sour taste in our mouths. But I'm sure he's super smart!

I had read Jerry's blog for years and we became friendly on twitter before I started my current company. When we went to fundraise, Jerry was on the top of the list for the first angel round. He was gracious in taking the meeting, asked thoughtful questions, and made a fast, independent decision to invest. I would have appreciated it equally had he made a fast, independent decision not to. He was among our first checks, and is still active and helpful on a monthly basis. Highly recommend.
