How Well Do You Know This Investor?

Had one meeting with this investor

2

I value my time and they should value theirs. My product is a hybrid between hardware and software. They don't invest in hardware. They knew this upfront. They had my deck. They waited until the end to tell me that they don't invest in hardware. This was a waste of both of our times. Somewhat of a sour taste. The things that they said that they couldn't help us with were not the things that we would have asked them to help us with. The other investors were there for that. I was asking them for the things that they were good at. Alas, I don't think that it is strategic to get fight to get somebody who can't get it when you've been clear.
