How Well Do You Know This Investor?

We tried to raise money from Eric for our series B. He gave us a relatively fast no, and his main feedback was that we should execute for 6 more months and then raise our series B. I was somewhat cynical about this, and I assumed that his team just wasn't interested. We ended up not raising our round at that point, and I was pleasantly surprised that 6 months later he reached back out, asked for a brief update, and then gave us a term sheet and led our series B. He did exactly what he said he would, and then he was a helpful and engaged board member for years. He was also extremely supportive when things took a turn for the worst and we had to pivot the company. I'd definitely work with him again.
