How Well Do You Know This Investor?
Have known this investor for years (know them very well)
10
I've known Ellen since her time at KP, through her transitional period of the lawsuit and Reddit job, and then afterwards in her current line of work in D&I. Contrary to the media reports (which were largely paid for by PR firms hired by KP), she is a conscientious and warm person who genuinely tries to help entrepreneurs - she invests as an angel now. She will do a tremendous amount of work on your behalf (intros, research, spending time), and possesses very keen analytical business mind that she uses to help founders see around corners and anticipate problems. At the same time, she's not going to be pushy or arrogant like other hotshot investors. She will offer you her advice and if you're not smart enough to take it, she'll still come around later to help you fix the mess. Totally a class act.
