Geoff is incredibly supportive and has a vast network for portfolio help. His character truly shines when things are tough and our team needed the most help

Daniel led my seed round and is one of the best consumer investors around. The fact that he can beat competing term sheets from "legendary" firms like Sequoia, Index, a16z, etc goes to show you how much people value him being on the cap table. He's been an amazing partner to work with and I just hope my team and I can produce massive returns to pay him back lol.

I met with Nitin and his team and it was very clear from his line of questioning that he lacked any interest or knowledge of our domain. Similar to other reviews here, Nitin seemed both disinterested and disdainful when talking to us. I left our meeting feeling like he would be the last person we would want to take money from much less have on our board.

Have interacted with Arif multiple times. Most importantly was that I got the vibe of mutual respect and desire to get to know each other. We ultimately raised from other investors but he gave the type of feedback and interaction that means I would be happy to have him back future ventures.

Avi Eyal is one of the most disrespectful and harmful investors we've ever met. Not only is he completely self-absorbed and cares way more about himself than his portfolio companies, but he's extremely misogynist, and talks down to female founders. Avoid this poisonous VC.

Least respectful, most disinterested investor I've spoken to. Was excited to talk to him because of how active he is on Twitter. Got a warm intro from someone already on my cap table. The moment we started talking I could tell he was immediately bored. He was on-and-off camera, making faces, and even texting/messaging other people. Like a 14-yo girl in church or something. Completely and brazenly disrespectful of me and my time. Looking back, I should have said "sorry, I can tell this is obviously not a conversation you're interested in right now" and hung up. Now I think his Twitter following is likely the ONLY compelling thing about him.

I met Jake when he offered to help underrepresented founders review their decks. We had a really in depth call about our deck and he gave additional comments. We are still finding our product market fit, so too early for him to invest. Since then I run all things VC past him and he continues to provide support and advice.

I've known Gil since 2012, and while he's never been an investor in any of my companies he has been there with advice, perspective, and network whenever I've needed it, no conditions on strings attached. When it comes to solving problems, I have always found him to be thoughtful, and analytical. He has a way of shining a light on areas you may have overlooked, or not even thought about. If you've just met him, his style of questioning might make a first-time founder feel a little bit defensive. But know that he is trying to get to the core of the problem or solution, and while it may feel he's being too analytical, he's really driven by a desire to be as helpful as he can. My favourite conversations with him have always been when we dissect a problem or challenge and jam through ideas of how to build out a solution. Gil is a great strategist, and if he wasn't so into VC he'd make a formidable entrepreneur. He's a long-term thinker, is a relationship builder, and is one of the rare VCs that says "how can I help" and genuinely mean it.
