Katelin does what every founder only dreams of having with their lead investor. She is a people first investor which makes her the MVP on our investment team. People are everything, especially in the early days and she’s an operator turned investor that knows that the best. Katelin is brilliant and empathetic while also be honest and direct. She’s interested in the challenges and goes hard in the paint for her founders. I, personally, could not have raised our last round without her support and wish there was more than a 10-star rating to reflect her value to the company.

Kane demonstrated conviction very quickly. His commercial due diligence was thorough yet not at all burdensome to me as a founder. He recommends great books and is super helpful with regards to finding help that I need. Recommend to any founders to meet and work with him!

Too full of himself to offer any value. Before you even meet James - get ready to fill out a 9 page form of everything about your company, which he won't at all bother reading before the meeting. When he finally met with us, he spent 50% of the meeting asking how we're different than X company so he can pattern match and the other 50% essentially telling us how he would re-do our whole business. He let us go through 2 slides (less than 1 minute of speaking) and clearly had little understanding on what we do but basically talked the whole meeting. It was bizarre to say the least.

Steve is a smiling zero. He traffics in the reputation of his partners, and takes advantage of the success of colleagues, but doesn't deliver any value or consistency whatsoever. Unreliable. Unhelpful. Misleading. A surfeit of smiling with no follow-up, meaningful insights or aid whatsoever.

The day I met Brian, was the day our trajectory in SV changed. Brian agreed to be an advisor to our company and immediately began plugging us in to the right networks and conversations. Being new to SV, this was a game changer for us. Within 3 months of meeting Brian, we were able to close our seed round from tier 1 angel investors and VC firms. Brians product, strategy and fundraising expertise was a primary driver for the success of our launch and fundraise. I have a feeling this is only the beginning, but I can't think of a better advisor, mentor and investor to have involved in any startup at any stage.

Gordon is the classical fair-weather friend, who wields enormous impact in the ecosystem, having backed some of the most successful companies. Gordon suffers from a complete lack of moral compass, and has blindsided and betrayed founders when they were down, robbing them not only of their company, but of any sense of dignity. While he is pleasant enough in nature (the all American good looks and calm demeanor) his IQ is likely average at the very best, and he often recites clichés and aphorisms in contexts that make no sense. If you're looking for a guy who can write huge checks and open any door, he may be your guy, just don't expect a partner of any sorts, avoid listening to advice, and constantly watch your back.

She views VC investments as a zero sum games. After signing a term sheet she is prepared to attach pernicious terms in convertible loan notes that were not part of the term sheet. She is not trustworthy, undermines management and behaves emotionally and irrationally.

Jeff is extremely chill while also being communicative and helpful. He is a breath of fresh air compared with other investors who sometimes are a bit overbearing.

I was introduced to Brianne by a mutual friend. When we first chatted my idea was pretty nascent-- but she was encouraging from the start. I think she actually saw more to it than I did. As the idea progressed and I started to raise, Brianne was hugely helpful: She back-channeled for me, drummed up interest, and brought several value-add angel/operators into my round. Since then she's come through with intros and unblocked me several times. I'm incredibly thankful to have her on my cap table and on my side.
