Jeff has been an invaluable thought partner, board member, and mentor. His analytical rigor, combined with deep operating experience, has helped us improve everything from our unit economics to our organizational structure. At the same time, his drive to help us create a better business is balanced by an appreciation of the space needed for us to learn, growth, and make decisions independently. It's clear he's walked a couple miles in our shoes before and that makes him an invaluable partner as we scale---as both a company and as leaders.

Good guy. Wicked smart, and very candid. Goes out of his way to deliver the straight foods, which cuts out anxiety and time on the side of founders. Is very much the type of person that will identify and drive the next unicorn. I hope that as he becomes more comfortable at Greylock he is willing to go out on limbs and trust his convictions a little more.

Kevin Spain... where do I begin. If it's an option, you take his money. This person is one of the most epic, helpful Series A VC's out there. His ego seems to somehow literally not exist. His conviction is admirable, even amidst turbulent times in a company's life. I have not take funding from Kevin but I've worked at one of his portfolio companies and, if you couldn't tell, he left a lasting, positive impression after working so closely around him for 4 years. He truly embedded himself into the company and worked hard WITH the team, many of whom had very little professional experience outside of college degrees. Even more, he even donating his time and energy to a fledgling side project of mine at the time (with pretty much exactly zero upside to him). I cannot recommend Kevin Spain enough—he gets 10/10 stars from me and is the model example of a balanced, Series A VC who has a proven track record of sound reasoning and success. If you are offered money from him, take it.

Invested in our bridge round when we were in a difficult position and has been an extremely supportive partner ever since, including investing in our subsequent rounds with follow-on checks. Extremely strong subject-matter knowledge across multiple startup verticals and very helpful with targeted introductions. Also very supportive with respect to founder mental health -- he's been in the operator chair before and knows how challenging that can be. Could not recommend more highly.

Niko brings the credbility and network of late stage investors to early stage companies. He's always even tempered, thoughtful in his suggestions, challenges the team to think differently. I feel comfortable brining my exec team to investor meetings because he'll ask questions that are appropriate for those meetings. He's helped us think through fundraising strategy, product strategy, and hiring strategy. He has a great reputation, and my experience is that he's as good as everyone says he is.
