How Well Do You Know This Investor?

10

Have worked with Jeff over multiple companies, both with Jeff as a board member. After 10 years of working with VCs, both as a source of capital as well as guidance and governance, I can say that his ability to focus at the right level is unmatched, and his willingness to give his time is better than nearly any other VC I've worked with. There's rarely a time that we'll talk that he doesn't help get me out of the weeds and see through to the heart of the issue at hand. Jeff is also an ideal board member - fair with his vote, open with his point of view, and to his credit, nearly always the board member that asks the question I'd rather not have asked in the board meeting - not because he's trying to trip me up, but because he understands what's most important about what's being presented. Unsure whether Jeff is still taking new investments, but I'd take money from him or add him to my board 10 more times if I had the opportunity.
