Extremely kind, absolutely no bs. One of the qualities I love about Lan is her intuitions about go to market and business sizing; she was extremely helpful for me during my ideation phase. Her team at BSV is also very nice to work with. P.S. If you get a chance to stop by the office, have some of the espresso it's fire ;)

I value my time and they should value theirs. My product is a hybrid between hardware and software. They don't invest in hardware. They knew this upfront. They had my deck. They waited until the end to tell me that they don't invest in hardware. This was a waste of both of our times. Somewhat of a sour taste. The things that they said that they couldn't help us with were not the things that we would have asked them to help us with. The other investors were there for that. I was asking them for the things that they were good at. Alas, I don't think that it is strategic to get fight to get somebody who can't get it when you've been clear.

One of the kindest humans you can meet in the venture world. Always very genuine when he asks 'how can he help' and he *delivers*. A must-have investor for early stage founders.

Eric is one of the most helpful and kind people I have had the chance to interact with. Unlike many, he is so unassuming and comes into every conversation with a genuine interest to learn. I have seen him also be incredibly generous with his time and cultivating people who are newer to the valley. I would say he is one of the few VCs who doesn't have the ego to believe that they are doing something special other than allocating capital and that awareness makes him an exceptional resource.

Was never that helpful / seemed to have only one operating experience as a founder and only recites that when you call for help / guidance. Not that open to making introductions. Founder friendly and will let you do what's best for you but makes sure you know that he's doing that...

Don is awesome and hands-down one of the friendliest, most supportive investors I know. He's been with us through thick and thin - challenging us during the ups and encouraging us through the lows. Love to have him on our board and can always count on him with delivering on asks.

There was nothing wrong with this meeting persay, but man did Nicholas sounded low-energy and uninterested when I was talking about the startup. Trying to ignite his enthusiasm was like trying to wade through mud, although that could have also been due to a weak pitch on my end. Asked very generic questions about team, business model and growth. Provided some insight into the COVID-19 fundraising market when asked.

Evan is focused on investing in computer vision, but tends to look at everything with a SaaS / consumer app lens. If you've reached product market fit and are looking to scale up, Evan is responsive and passionate and a fine sounding board. If you're finding your way with a deep tech product his lack of insight and experience relative to savvier boardmembers often shows.
