I've actually sent this email to Villi and thought it may good to share with others, as it speaks volumes about who Villi is as an investor (a very rare breed). "Hi Villi, I was writing the investor update for September today and thought of you and the advice you gave me last we talked in spring, when I was thinking of raising a round. You said, and I quote “If I was you, and this goes a bit against what I as a VC should tell you, I would keep the burn low and just keep going.” I did listen to your advice then – I stopped the fundraise the next day after talking to you. The reason, I remembered you again today is that we went cash flow positive. We are poking around and talking to a lot of investors, but the dynamic is completely different than ever before – thanks to your advice. As I am writing this email now, I realized that you are 2/2 on great advice. First one was obviously – “[redacted - another VC firm we ended up raising from when talking to Villi] are good people”. So, that is all: thank you! You, too, are good people." Villi has always been super quick and truly helpful, not in the ironic sense, even if it went against his immediate interests. True integrity and character; anyone would be lucky to have him on the board.
