Matt is an awesome investor and partner to founders. For any early stage company, Matt acts like he's part of the team whether that's working on product, making intros, or providing honest feedback to make you better and more successful. He's incredibly accessible, kind, and a joy to work with. If you have a chance to work with Matt, I'd seriously jump at the opportunity. He's a real one.

I have closely followed Li since she was at a16z. She is unafraid of forming her own investment theses and conviction, which has resulted in her carving out the passion/creator’s economy space early and being a leading voice of it. A former product manager herself, Li never shies away from offering constructive critiques and provides tangible advice/help to founders. Beyond that, she is well respected by her peers for her thoughtfulness, and her name and brand has real value to the founders she backs.

Charles is an absolute gem! A consummate professional in every aspect. He supports his founders and trusts his founders which in turn gives his founders an enormous boost when needed. He has an even keeled demeanor that is extremely comforting. I would recommend Charles and Precursor to and pre-seed founder.

The most aggressive and dirty VC in the market. They told me that if I don't take their term sheet they'll go invest in my competitor. I said no and then they over funded my direct competitor. stay away

Tisch is a founder friendly investor who is very hands off after making an investment. He'll help you with whatever you need and will introduce you to anyone who you might need. Probably not the person you go to for deep product advice but will alway give you his honest feedback.The BoxGroup team as a whole is stellar and a partner you want at the earliest stage.

The one thing I hear over and over again about Avichal is 'he's so smart, why's he working in crypto?' Considered one of the greatest consumer product minds. Very smart, very helpful, but a bit elusive.
