How Well Do You Know This Investor?

Have known this investor for years (know them very well)

6

I like Will a lot on a personal level. Very trustworthy, very easy to talk to -- gives off a lot of friendly Dad vibes. I like him a lot more than the other partners at RRE, who have almost across the board come across as arrogant assholes, which is moderately ironic given how badly their media-driven thesis has turned out. Pitch-to-answer time was average, and working with RRE was fairly hands-off. With that said, RRE did not provide much by way of support and services to us -- particularly in comparison to what a Lerer, Box, or FRC can do in an apples-to-apples comparison of NYC firms -- and is clearly no longer the blue-chip they once were.
