How Well Do You Know This Investor?

Have known the investor on and off over a few years

Among seed-stage investors, Josh (and FRC at large) is a legend. I've worked with him a bunch personally, and he always knows when to press and when to lay low. He's got a very intuitive sense of what a founder needs at any given time, and given his deep experience and Rolodex, always comes through with a useful and valuable response. It's a cliche, but he's one of the few truly value-add investors that I've worked with. Response time is usually pretty quick, and pitch-to-answer is very quick. In my DD of him before working with FRC, big thumbs up all around.
