Incoherent firm. Feels like dealing with venture in the 90s. Unprofessional from beginning to end, caddy, and difficult to deal with for a small check. Have an elevated view of their own importance in the venture world

Horrific. Bad faith negotiator, terrible board member. Not interested in the success of his portfolio companies - only his personal success. Avoid.

Honestly, I find this comment extremely painful. I've spent almost 15 years as a VC working hard to treat everyone with respect and integrity. I always tell entrepreneurs who I meet with that they are welcome to talk to any founder I've ever worked with, and that I'd be happy to make the introduction or they can reach out directly. So sorry that someone out there feels this way, and I would be happy to talk you directly.

Jai is one of the most thoughtful and passionate VC's I have ever encountered. He will go to extreme lengths to help founders navigate the challenges of raising and do all he can to bolster their companies. His knowledge and candor are unlike any other investor I have come across. Count yourself extremely lucky if you are able to have Jai on your side.

This VC is hyper-cautious. Only invests in sure bets. If you're a replica of another company with traction, you may have luck here.

This guy Pedja actually has impressive operational experience and he can actually be helpful while not tweeting about it. During our talks he showed great understanding and he was always well prepared for conversations. We did not end up working together since we weren't on the same page around valuation but I would recommend these guys to anyone, especially for early stage.

Honest, chill, friendly — what else could you want? We've worked together from a design advisor context and he designed our brand, but he's INCREDIBLE. Absolutely delivers, and his consumer founder background is nothing to ignore. If I could put all my money into him, I would.

Eric is a founders investor. What I mean is that he is supportive when you want him to be, backs off when you need him to, and generally trusts you to do a great job. If he feels strongly, he'll provide a very articulate reason for why you should do something, but it's never heavy handed. We feel extremely lucky that we chose him as an early investor and would highly recommend him to anyone.

New fund, but good product mind. He's nice, and fun to hang with, but can't say much more than that.

Brianne communicated she was interested in investing. And suggested a handful of people she would love to reach out to invest. Than she totally ghosted - I never heard back from her - not even to confirm she was no longer interested. It was a totally waste a time.

Dude is an investment associate and his KRA is to review deals with the seniors. Unfortunately, he is slow, hardly reverts back on time and u can be left chasing shadows. The fund is good but not the entry door to this fund.
