How Well Do You Know This Investor?

Had one meeting with this investor

3

We're a tech-enabled consumer company. I understand House Fund has an AI division, but this investor came into the meeting with a lot of bias around us not being "AI" or "techy" enough. I found that she didn't take the time to understand our market where our consumers ultimately want a quality, physical product and do not care so much about the tech. She imposed her bias on our business from the start, and kept mentioning tech throughout the call which was off putting because I didn't feel as if she gave it a chance or really sought out to understand our product from the beginning. Also, her background isn't even tech, so her judgment is questionable at best around what type of technology a startup should have, and I question her ability to evaluate any type of startup or business accordingly with that type of mindset.
