Sarah was really helpful to me even though my company was too early for Bain to invest in. She listened, asked great questions, and offered to make intros to multiple folks. She was also very kind and warm. I felt valued by her even though Bain could not invest at my stage of company and really appreciated that she was willing to connect me to angels and other funds!

Alex is a truly amazing human being, and you can fully trust him. He has a very good understanding of the German VC landscape, and he's generally experienced in matters of Law and Accounting. Unfortunately he cannot really provide much added value, but that's mostly a limitation of the current German startup ecosystem, and not really his own fault.

Fairly typical - he reached out, lots of big talk on initial call, asked for additional documentation to be sent over, then ghosted. No response to follow up emails. Nothing particularly unusual but be prepared for the ghosting if you are engaging in initial outreach/calls.

Get ready for a reality check. Roy is someone with a polarizing personality. The kind of northeasterner that speaks his mind and isn't afraid to ruffle feathers—even if it's another one of his contemporaries. He's been around the block, has a practical sense of worth, is 100% real in every interaction... even if you don't like what you hear. But he commands respect and I take his opinion highly. Him and the Bloomberg Beta team are a group of people I could confidently take any massive problem, where the sky is falling down, and feel in good hands no matter what. At a Pre-Seed stage, Bloomberg Beta is the type of investor most founders want. Sure, it's a check, but it can be even more if you need it. Highly recommend.

Extremely trustworthy investor that knows his industry inside and out. He's able to make incredible introductions and believes in the startups that he invests into and mentors.

Michael Mitgang was courteous, promptly replied to emails and calls, even LinkedIn messages. He seemed sincere in his desire to learn about your company and wanted to see how as an investor he could help

The ghost is strong with this one, don't be fooled by the founder-friendly Twitter persona. Asked for a lot of follow-up materials, spoke in specifics about setting up future meetings, and just ghosted. But still likes some of our stuff on Twitter ?!
