Known Sateesh for more than 10 years he comes across as very prudish. Lately seems to have matured a bit and heard he has become more responsive but otherwise he comes across as 'Mr. Know All'

I've worked closely with Scott as a major investor in my company for many years. He's a very thoughtful guy who really took the time to understand our business. He's also very founder friendly. When we ran into trouble with others in our syndicate, I could always trust him to be on our side and supportive - even through some rough times with our company. The only downside to Scott is that he's not really been a serious operator before, so I think his advice / value-add can't be as insightful as the top (and rare) investors who've actually built significant companies / products. Overall though, I can say that I'd definitely work with Scott again.

Maggie has a special combination that make her an a special human being. She is smart, honest, humble and loves what she does. She can speak about GTM strategy and says things like "I just want you to focus on building and executing, let me help you when we close out this round". She listens... and takes the time to respond in a way that is well balanced for founders. She is quick with ideas and asks great questions that spark new, great ideas. What I love most of all is a weekly call all the founders get on with Maggie, Vik and some of the advisors to the fund. Everyone gets to be themselves, is open with any problems they are having and you really feel supported. As our company increases in value in ways VC's will just jump abroad for getting in the deal, it's this fund that has provided the most value. By far the best VC we have worked with and would recommend sending any founder to them. VC's get a bad reputation because of issues that have nothing to do with growing and building companies. WE are lucky we get to work with people like Maggie and Vik; humanity+purpose+humility+valuation= happy founders

More of a PE-type fund than a true VC, so they value ops-heavy companies with lots of levers to optimize. Great if it's the right fit for your company, absolutely terrible if not.

For every early stage startup out there, you need to have Pranavi on your cap table or radar at the very least. She goes to war for her founders and constantly (and I mean 24/7) works in the best interest of you and your company. She's a rare breed of brilliant, humble and driven that makes her one of the most valuable investors you can have on your cap table. She's come in on two of our rounds and her impact has gone beyond what we could have dreamed of.

Joann is very professional and pleasant to speak to. Very smart and take the time to explain their reasons for passing.

Jonathon is excellent. Very accessible, easy to talk to, and actually cares about the human side of the people he backs. Will work hard to get you customer intros or help you with downstream financing. Has a great rep within the venture community.

Andy and his firm were supposed to lead our round and negotiated a sweetener for that position, then proceeded to only make 1 intro that didn't lead anywhere. We had angels with considerably less invested giving infinitely more help with bringing on other investors, making connections, etc. His firm also invested in a direct competitor within a few months of investing with us, and didn't even tell us - we had to find out via news. Later, when we were putting together a bridge round, he committed to it if we were able to fill the round, then ghosted us for months and didn't honor his commitment, despite us receiving the commitments he required to do the round. The round fell apart and drove the company into a dire situation. I don't remember him or the firm ever delivering anything of value, to be honest.
