We met with Jeremy and Webb and were given a funding offer from them. Unfortunately we were oversubscribed and couldn't fit them in. Jeremy was an amazing investor, however. He gave us access to market research he had done on our space and introduced us to portfolio companies of WIN's to help us get product feedback. Most investors didn't do that for us. One downside, is it's clear he has a fairly old school approach to evaluating companies (loves Gartner predictions, consultant vibes).

He's very smart. A little impatient/uninterested. Gives great advice. Sometimes feels adversarial, but more like a strict dad.

Very experienced across a breadth of domain verticals and uses that range to come at opportunities or issues with an oblique perspective, which is of obvious value when we’re heads down in the thick of it. Kevin is an active and supportive board member and truly cares about his companies and their people.

The ideal investor; gave us a term sheet within hours, has lunch/dinner with us from time to time, and basically doesn't bother us at all. This could be a downside for others but it was exactly what I wanted.

Brianne is like many founders: passionate, excited, but probably taking on too much as one person. When she engages it can be tremendous, but when she flakes on a meeting or doesn't follow up on a commitment it's frustrating. If I was her I would cool it with new deals and focus on NPS of current portfolio.

We had an in person meeting. Ali had developed an investor FAQ and went through great detail of our company. Investors who educate themselves about the market, have way more interesting conversations. Ali had done her homework.

Alan cut a check into our seed. Leaked our docusend to about half the valley, and then proceeded to ghost when the fundraising got hard. Took as a small check once the round came together. He has since never replied to an investor update, and invested in several directly competitive companies. Three years of this later, here we are.
