Guillermo is one of my favorite investors. He's new to VC and understands the importance of respect and reputation. Very focused on building relationships for the long run. He's one in a million and OpenView is lucky to have him. Goes out of his way to make strategic intros to relevant investors even if your company is not a fit for OpenView or is too early. 10/10 recommend.

Don is a great investor to have on your side. He’s very supportive and continues to back founders he has backed once. Don’s genuineness and friendliness toward others makes him a valuable ally, he’s incredibly well connected and always willing to put two parties together whom can mutually benefit. I’d take money from Don in any company I build.

One of the first firms to participate in PR because she knew the industry so well. She really wants to make a difference!

You will rarely find someone who's this well-versed in enterprise SaaS, especially since he's done it himself. We learned so much from our first meeting with him, but his uppity demeanor was a really big turn off. Seems too stuck up to actually help founders

Unfortunately had a terrible experience with this investor / team. After multiple meetings with principal level investor, a partner level meeting was scheduled. A pass was decided before the partner level meeting happened, and the pass was not communicated to me. They ghosted and did not respond until I followed up 3+ times to clarify whether or not the meeting was happening, after which they passed. I doubt they are usually this bad but this was my experience.

Darian has done a stellar job getting Contractbook up and running. He was one of the first to understand the true vision and was quick to make an investment decision, he also decided to fly in to meet the team (SF-Copenhagen) which we appreciated. He has been supporting our decisions and been great help in reaching our targets and getting us to the A-round.

We were in advanced talks with a potential lead VC, and they asked if they could run the deal by Julian as a potential co-investor since we were "a perfect fit with his thesis." In our first call with Julian, his arrogance was both frustrating and overwhelming. First, he claims to have a technical background, but it was clear both from our conversation and his LinkedIn that he has no experience in Industrial Tech (other than what he has gained through Schematic). Second, he (correctly) stated he did not know our sector at the beginning of our call. However, that did not stop him from quoting "conversations with PE friends in manufacturing" who had given him unrelated insights to both our solution space and our customer base. The half-hour meeting was one of the most frustrating I have ever had. Ultimately, he passed with extremely generic feedback. (I'll give him credit that the response was fast, at least). A few days later, the other investor followed suite in passing as well.

Rodrigo is the most founder friendly investor I ever talked to. While building the startup I co-founded I often asked him questions and ask his opinion on things happening inside the company and with the industry in general. He always listened and provided really good advice, he helped with intros to other VCs and other founders. He is a great board member.

Katherine is very sharp and trustworthy. She has a "no BS" attitude which I personally think is great. She is founder friendly and multiple of her portfolio founders have given great reviews.

Only focuses on CEO, blocks out others in the room, has to be alpha or gets cranky. Operates with a specific philosophy and does not deviate from initial plan once his mind is made up on where the "company will go." Pulls a lot of levers and wants to push working with other portfolio companies tech. Savvy investor, but ones that is going to push you into taking cash and swallowing the cap table.
