Met Dean 4 years ago when they just started fund. They made a seed investment decision in two weeks. Took a board seat. Dean is a former entrepreneur - took the company he cofounded as CEO to IPO and $1.5B market cap before exiting. He has been in my shoes and knows what a founder goes through. He is empathetic and very supportive. He loves to help and dives deep when asked. He is very good to building financial models and I have relied on him to build ours and keep it current. They are new to the VC world so are operating a smaller fund. They don't have the connections to other VC funds the way more established funds in the valley do. They funded two hardware companies but are now wary of hardware like most VCs as its a longer ramp-up and needs more capital than they can provide alone. Above everything they are honest, mean what they say and do what they say. Its a wonderful fund for a seed stage start up.
