Kirby is extremely helpful, knowledgeable in his field, and treats founders like human beings. It's really refreshing to have a normal conversation with a VC without feeling like you're on trial or having to prove something to them. Highly recommend Kirby.

Lisette was great to pitch to. Her questions were very thoughtful and I could tell she was rooting for us, gathering as much information as possible to present to the other partners.

Like others said here, he's initially very responsive but then completely ghosts after an exchange or two, after multiple follow ups I heard nothing. He is on twitter all day long too, which makes it more frustrating. Hopefully this type of extremely unprofessional behavior becomes obsolete.

Ultimately not the right fit for our startup (HardTech) but Zak was extremely professional and responsive. He gave great feedback and gave us some leads. For the founder who is non-credentialed, Zak should absolutely be your first stop.

We had one pitch call with Paul and he was friendly and curious about how our business worked. He took the time to try to thoroughly ask questions, and made a quick decision.
