We value the ongoing conversation with Gernot for his curiosity, willingness, and ability to look "in-depth" into our market strategy and approach. We appreciate the attention and involvement that he provides because it allows us to efficiently confront our vision and clarify our expectations. This means that for example, during our call last month we've spent quality time defining the most attractive use case for our service.

Had one meeting to pitch our company. Didn't hear back for weeks. Had to check in multiple times but eventually got an email back saying they weren't interested. They seem nice, but we felt a bit shrugged off.

Lucy was one of the first investors to believe in me and she has time and time again come through for me. Many funds say they are willing to be the first check in, Lucy and Dave actually follow through. She is very busy but quick to make investment decisions and once she's in your court, she will do everything she can to be helpful from investor introductions to listening and providing operational advice. Very well connected and willing to go up to bat and vouch for you. If you want to work with someone who is truly people first with years of operating experience, go with Lucy.

This investor seemed to be reading from a script instead of having a natural conversation. Came across very amateurish and ill-prepared for initial meeting (guess that's what happens when you cast a wide net of LinkedIn spam messages). Are you a GP or are you an associate?

He has repeatedly fallen asleep in pitch meetings that are 'low stakes' to him, which has to be the oddest behavior I've ever seen.

VC agreed to invest in our company and then ghosted us when we asked for the amount for the SAFE notes. They asked for a number of documents and financial records, and then just vanished. Very unprofessional and disrespectful.

Chris is best summed up as "in your corner, but not in your kitchen." He is always supportive and extremely founder-focused, making sure that you as the founder are doing OK first, and the business second. He's extremely genuine and good hearted, which is unfortunately a rarity for many investors.
