Laurence is without a doubt one of the most value-additive, hardest working, supportive investors out there. I have had the opportunity to work alongside Laurence in various capacities and witness the impact he has on founders, partners and LPs alike. I couldn't recommend him more highly if you're looking for more than just capital in terms of a thought partner, incredibly intelligent counterpart and supportive investor.

Not very friendly and quite arrogant. Auto rejection response is along the lines of we don’t provide specific feedback so don’t reach out. Irony is most smart founders know its preference and not to follow up and reach out...

After you receive the wire, you basically don't hear from Don/the GFC team unless they want something from you/until your next round. This can be a plus and a minus--great if you just want a laid back low maintenance investor. Not so great if you're looking for someone to reach into their contacts and add value.

Gregory was our first investor and has also led a round for us with March. He always makes time to chat with me if I need it, and really thinks through the topic beforehand.

Never met him before I pitched to him. He passed on us & is still one of the most helpful people I know — he always asks who he can make intros to (especially customers, advisors, partnerships) and actually makes them. His intros are always solid & get us meetings with people we'd never be able to reach otherwise. I've never felt like our conversations were transactional, and he's incredibly genuine each time.

Frances is one of the sharpest tools in the shed. When she got excited about our company's vision, it was a moment of clarity for us. We would never have had the round that we did without her help on both her thinking big and about the details. It can't hurt that she's math savant :) But as with all investor references, for me it comes down to -- are these the people that you want around the table? And if she's lucky enough to sit next to you, you're in luck.

Pretty clear the newer high ratings are from those that Lucy asked her founders to make for her. Not very trustworthy and does not add a lot of value.
