Toying with Our Emotions
Always late for meetings. Often didn't reply to emails. Left us hanging often when they said they would arrange meetings. Just a lack of process and a lack of respect throughout.

Sent me on a Wild Goose Chase
Awful experience after warm intro. Double confirmed old office address, then didn’t bother calling after waiting, and they knew I was flying in to meet them. Couldn’t meet that day at all then; and then weeks later requested a call and cancelled just before. No thanks.

Would Have Been Nice to Have Them Along
They reached out to us while we were raising a pre-seed round, though we were too early for them in the end. Overall great experience - courteous and provided useful feedback.

Make us Feel Important
Perfect level of engagement - our company feels as if it's front and center for our VC. Couldn't ask for a more intelligent, strategic, and logical thinking VC partner.

I Bailed
Just seemed very unprofessional and disrespectful of time. Probably the worst for this of any VC I spoke to across you US and Europe throughout my process. Asked me to set up times to chat with them, then didn't reply to my responses. Forgot meetings and were late to ones they showed up to. Never replied after first meeting... i didn't chase as i had closed my round, but to be honest i'd just completely decided i didn't want their money

I May be Going Against the Crowd But...
It's funny. I'm forever asked whether I rate them, which indicates that they may not make a great first impression on everyone. But as a portfolio founder they were excellent - got their hands dirty, were hungry to help and empathetic.

I Think They Like Me
I feel like they invested in me because they believed in me as a founder. They have shown that post-investment by trusting me to run the business and they have been very supportive throughout.

Moving On Without Baggage
Good fund, Alex is great. They are your champion both pre-and post-investment. I've had positive and negative interactions like any founder would, but the negative interactions were always talked about quickly and fixed in a way that was both timely and ethical. I couldn't recommend them more.

Need to be on Your Map
Backed are easily our best investor, they have invested in my growth, my team's growth and they've gone beyond the normal to help the business become stronger, other VCs will have a higher chance of success by having Backed involved in their investments. Founders will be pleased on how much personal support they give.
