I have known Michael know for 3 years. Since leaving my last exec role at a startup he has been a valued sounding board and advisor as I figure out what to build next. He is very available and always has made time to give me honest and direct feedback with an underlying care for everyone succeeding. He's driven by broader market shifts and a good thesis to the startup. Friends that I know that he has invested in, he has been one of the strongest connectors for building out their teams. Finding and securing key hires as their startups have grown. If you are engaging with him, preparing a meaningful thesis which he will read and provide a basis for a dialogue with you.

We met with Niko several times as we were considering searching for new funding. He was incredibly respectful, knew the industry, and asked great questions. He gave us good advice, was matter of fact about what they expected to see from us before seriously beginning fundraising conversations, and consistently responded promptly, i.e. no ghosting one way or another. We didn't ultimately choose to pitch them primarily because we are focused internationally at the moment and are not building a US presence. However, when we do move into the US, he'd be one of the first people we'd reach out to.

Reach out to him out of the blue with a email teaser pitch and the dude replied with a super nice and an encouraging message.

Have worked with Jeff over multiple companies, both with Jeff as a board member. After 10 years of working with VCs, both as a source of capital as well as guidance and governance, I can say that his ability to focus at the right level is unmatched, and his willingness to give his time is better than nearly any other VC I've worked with. There's rarely a time that we'll talk that he doesn't help get me out of the weeds and see through to the heart of the issue at hand. Jeff is also an ideal board member - fair with his vote, open with his point of view, and to his credit, nearly always the board member that asks the question I'd rather not have asked in the board meeting - not because he's trying to trip me up, but because he understands what's most important about what's being presented. Unsure whether Jeff is still taking new investments, but I'd take money from him or add him to my board 10 more times if I had the opportunity.

Jen is refreshingly low-key in a world of chest-thumping status-hungry VCs. She's incredibly smart, down to earth, and strikes a good balance between providing advice and trusting founders to run with ideas. When we were doing diligence on Initialized as a whole, the most glowing reviews from other founders were about Jen. When COVID hit, it felt like every investor was urging their early stage portcos to pivot if they were in the crosshairs of affected industries. Jen was one of the only ones to tell us to stay the course on our idea, because she believed our insight was more durable than COVID panic would have others believe. That's the kind of investor you want on your side.

Great for early stage and will aggressively bring on other investors. Might request separate advisory fee.

Justin Mateen is by far our most value add investor and has materially impacted the trajectory of our company -- even over the full time venture capitalists who have invested more into the company. He's incredibly supportive and, as a former founder, he's always the person I go to first because he has the ability to understand things from a founder's perspective. I always recommend Justin above any other investor. He single handedly helped us raise multiple rounds of funding and has always doubled down and believed in us before anyone else.
