Farhan is truly the 'nice guy' of VC, not only is he open but also generous with his time and with value-add introductions. He's smart when talking through opportunities and has been in the trenches before, so he seems to understand operating a startup more than other VCs I've met. I'd recommend at least having a chat with Farhan if you're in the fintech space and raising an early round.

She was pretty fast on the initial small check she gave us. The heavier due diligence came when she led our round earlier this year. She put in an enormous amount of work into that deal. She did more diligence than any other investor we've interacted with. Her area of expertise is around the technical side of the company. Her network is very engineering/product heavy, which helped us bring over engineering candidates. Our VPE was hired due to Lan's introductions.

If you're doing something slightly off the beaten path in fintech, GVC is the firm that you want on your cap table. Their network is extensive, their commitment to supporting founders is exceptional, and there's not a bad apple at the firm.

Our company has received funding indirectly from GPG through their involvement in the Health Wildcatters accelerator program. I've found Clay, Carl, and JR pleasant enough to speak with but would advise caution before accepting their money or advice. 1) The follow-on notes advertised as part of the Health Wildcatters program comes with 2x liquidation preference that many first-time entrepreneurs may miss if they don't have a lawyer or someone more experienced looking over the documents. 2) Many of their questions about shortening our time to launch our medical device involved cutting corners on quality or regulatory compliance. 3) Because there's a new accelerator cohort every year and because they're actively sourcing deals elsewhere, they'll forget about you very quickly. Still, it's hard to rate them too low because they & Health Wildcatters are offering pre-seed funding in medtech which is otherwise hard to come by.

Met with TJ & others from Base 10 after a few preliminary calls w/ another member from the team. Unfortunately, they canceled/rescheduled multiple times last minute, were slow to reply to emails & when we finally did meet, were unprepared / seemingly disinterested. Some of the more junior members of the team were sharp & great to meet with - unfortunately, the experience we had left a bad taste. Maybe it was just an off few months - 2020 was weird.

My cofounder and I have both known Kirby for years, as coworkers. When we started our current company, we initially brought him on as an advisor, and after a year he became an investor and a board member. Over the subsequent years, he has not only reinvested, but also brought to us other investors over multiple rounds, and connected us with a wide range of people who have been helpful to our growth. What we value most about Kirby is his perspective; he always asks honest, difficult questions that force us to think about the realities of where we're headed and how best to get there. For the most part, the investors we've interacted with all have the same questions, few of which require much more than answers we have ready to hand. But invariably, Kirby asks us questions that are not only unexpected, but which force us to think in new ways about about how our operational decisions (where we must focus) can impact our enterprise value (where we want to focus). In my experience, this is a super rare talent, and Kirby's presence and participation in our company has been additive--if not transformative--at every step.

Submitted to the Club Fund and got a response from Mac within a week. Our meeting was incredibly insightful - and fun. As a founder himself, Mac was extremely easy and personable to talk to about the challenges of the founder journey. He asked great questions and genuinely seemed to care about what’s best for the business. Even if he decides not to invest, I trust that he’ll be a great resource for us moving forward. He talks to you like a human being vs a means to a billion dollar exit. Highly recommend for anyone building in the community space.

Gavin has been great to work with. He gave great feedback on our product strategy and was very honest about where they were with the launch of their next fund. He has not invested yet, but is at the top of my list regarding who I would like to work with.

Jenny is an amazing investor and more importantly a upbeat, genuine and wonderful personality. I was shocked how many startup she knows and how many products she tried out. She told me about six indirect competitors I have never heard before within the first weeks when we started the partnership. She is insanely responsive answering to emails even late at night. She is an awesome thought partner and I am super grateful to have her as a hero on my shoulders.
