Ted is a wonderful human being with good intentions and Cowboy is a very homey firm. He is thoughtful and well connected given his time as an influential Bay Area law firm partner. But I've heard from a handful of founders that he gets very deep on diligence (more so than others) for Seed and then pulls the rug from underneath them. As a founder, this should be expected: until the $$ are in the bank, you don't have anything. Regardless a note of caution to founders: expectation management is something they may be still working on. I'm told he doesn't do too many deals. But I can see him being a good person to have in your corner. Just a heads up on the process getting to that point.

Matt is fast to respond, typically upbeat and empathetic and has a reasonable perspective on most issues. He has been generous with intros to other investors during fundraising and does a nice job balancing the internal responsibilities (ie: fundraising) of a fund with hearing pitches and keeping up with portfolio companies. 7/10 recommendation is tempered by the limited reach and capability of the firm overall - it's small in terms of people and dollars to invest.

Minal has been incredibly generous with helping us on our pitch and making introductions. Minal's advice is relevant and useful: she's analytical and she keeps it real. Minal is incredibly busy, but goes out of her way to make time for entrepreneurs. She's giving back to the ecosystem in a way that matters. She is also a genuinely cool person, so any time with her feels like talking to your smartest friend, and not like an investor meeting.

Techstart are an early stage fund for companies in Northern Ireland and Scotland. They manage a £100m fund. They will invest early pre-seed and pre revenue but their terms can be questionable (this has improved in the years)

Brad is both knowledgeable and wise. Chatting with him always improves my day and every conversation makes me more aware of the broader context around whatever issue was pressing.

No complaints about my experience with him, very helpful! A bit meme-y in person too? But at least his reputation between Twitter and real life is consistent. Very smart and into his portfolio co's which is what you'd want from an investor.

Mitra is thoughtful, sharp and kind. She partnered with us to refine and position our pitch and the end result was orders of magnitude better than what we had come up with. She is clear about next steps and sticks to those as promised. It's hard to not think of her as a friend instead of an investor, but she navigates that very well. I'd recommend anybody who has the chance to bring her and SPC to their board to do so.
