Really top notch. Drew and team, have incredible pattern recognition and have high conviction around deploying capital. Post transaction, Drew is a fantastic partner and is always available, super strategic and broadly helpful. I particularly like the very founder friendly mindset that Drew and the 8VC team have and they have been perfect partners for us. I can't say enough good things about Drew - highly recommend him.

For any founders looking to raise right now, get in touch with Lolita Taub! She’s a super smart, passionate, and high integrity person. Any founder would be lucky to work with her. I'll be a raising a seed in mid 2021, and I'm hoping that she'll be on my cap table.

The worst. Do not take his calls, do not waste your time pitching him or his fund. He is the most shady investor I have ever met in my entire career. Without letting us know, he invited our top competitor sit on our pitch. Dylan gave us a cover story that we stupidly believed, but after some weird questions, while I was on the zoom I looked the other guy up on LinkedIn and discovered the blatant lie. Run away. He is out to steal business ideas and screw over founders. He is not an investor to be trusted.

Toy Ventures is a newer fund, run by two ex-Facebook ads PM/data scientists. Even though they’re a smaller fund, they’re extremely eager to work hard for their investments and help them succeed. Ramnik’s perspective and feedback has been crucial to the early stages of our business. One of the most founder friendly investors, and very well connected to help with things he doesn’t know about.

Greg simply has a higher standard that he holds himself to compared to most good investors. Greg is incredibly focused, gives clear no-BS feedback, and is always willing to roll up the sleeves to help. I don't think he ever sleeps.. A few times now, we've had time sensitive deliverables that we needed help with. Each time we've asked for help, Greg not only taps into his considerable experience to provide direct feedback, but also jumps right in to help re-write copy, build models, etc. Awesome, down-to-earth guy and an absolute joy to work with.

We applied to the Northwestern Mutual Black Founder Accelerator, Precious was great getting to know and pitch. She has humble beginnings and brings that perspective to hearing new ideas. Since this was going to be a virtual cohort it was very competitive and I've been at this long enough to know that pre revenue startups are hard to get placement in these types of opportunities. All I can say is that she followed up like I had won and we continue to include her on our monthly updates.

Working with Dustin takes a founder that is clear and direct with why they are seeking investment alongside what added value of skills can Dustin add to your company. His fund wants to do more than write a check.
