I've met with Bennett and other members of the Andreesen team about 7 times now, and I've been thoroughly impressed with him in every aspect. Bennett is incredibly approachable, empathetic and takes a keen interest to really understand the nuances of the company vs the superficial vanity metrics that so many investors fixate on. While they didn't invest in our round, working with him was one of the best experiences I've had to date with a VC.

Didn't know that Danielle only invested in Enterprise, but it was super fun talking to her. After talking to some founders from her portfolio companies and to her personally, it's clear that she cares a lot about ALL of her founders, not only the ones who are crushing it.

Do not take money from this person, no matter how few options you have. You will, undoubtedly, regret it. Inexperienced, volatile, and untruthful.

If you look at the last two reviews of Jess, they aren’t really criticisms of her — she’s doing as much as she can but the problem is with Soma’s strategy and the MP (Aneel). Of course she can’t be super helpful being a year out of college (and calling her out for her 50 Linkedin positions is kind of extra) but that’s not her job. Her job is to make sure things move smoothly and she’s responsive and she does that very well. Moreover, when I ask for intros to other companies in the Soma umbrella, she does promptly send an email but the limiter is Aneel’s decision to invest in all these startups at such a small amount. I’ve asked for intros before that requires Aneel’s network (in other words, Vivek’s network) and she loops in Aneel as she should — usually the intros aren’t strong but that’s on Aneel’s weak network, not on Jess at all. The Slack is pretty dead, but she at least tried to foster community there and what more can you expect. If you think she comes off as fake or insincere, welcome to VC because most investors are like that. I have a top VC who backed our Series A and they are no different (outside of a better brand and more connections). Don’t hate the player. Hate the coach and the game.

Bart is one of the kindest, and most knowledgeable, investors we’ve come across during our time running our company. Many VCs promote themselves as more than smart capital, but Bark truly provides much more than capital. Bart will sit down with you, and your team, to strategize and see how he can help. He makes himself accessible at all times of the day, and is always in a great mood. If you can get him on your team, you are in good shape.

I've been working with Bryce for over a year. We received an investment from him and IndieVC. He's a straight shooter. He provides honest feedback and doesn't beat around the bush. Unlike other VCs, his goal isn't to help you raise the next round. His goal is to help you increase revenue, profitability, and allow you to control your own destiny.

Had a very good first meeting with David that went well over an hour. He asked very in-depth questions about our market and I was quite impressed with his thoughtfulness. He even gave me some things to think about for "next time we met." Unfortunately there was no next time as he went unresponsive.

Very serious, extremely positive experience. We had met a16z a bunch before, had gone to Monday partner review before and been bounced, so it was a second pass - we are seed stage so it's all speculative anyway for them - but she is the most senior partner we met. Took a meeting fast, via warm intro, very sharp. Aggressive about the segment, knows stuff from China, is predictably dismissive, but when you fight back, with knowledge and analysis, she listens carefully and asks good questions. Took the offer to Monday morning again, partner group bounced, but she was very precise and extensive in follow-up notes, and invited further pitches. Same story with Li Jin, actually, the year before. a16z seems to have a protocol, the parnters/associates follow it. Fkn excellent. No time wasted, very positive.
