How Well Do You Know This Investor?

10

You'll not meet a better human. He's able to engage with your ideas and with you as a human. If you meet him in person he can maybe come off as a bit awkward/shy but he has the biggest heart you'll meet. He also has oodles of experience to share with you that make you avoid dumb mistakes. I went to him when I was closing my round and he helped think through my close so that I didn't do something dumb. He isn't even an investor in my company but was generous with his time. His advice was invaluable and was able to connect me with great people too. I know numerous people who've been backed by Michael over the past 15 years and swear by him. Michael gets my vote too.
