Left Me Hanging
Scheduled a meeting with involving 2 team members - one of them never showed up. It would have been good to write an email letting me know in advance/explaining why afterwards.

Things Fall Apart
Put forward unreasonable terms that took a LONG time to negotiate back to market. After investment closed, they allowed a US PE-based investor to take over the company, marginalizing the founders, even after promising not to do so during the original pitch. Even though the company was outperforming.

Great but We're Bitter from the Shotgun Wedding
We work with an extremely switched on partner, highly connected and thoughtful - though seems to be a range of personalities in the broader team. We've found them super easy to work with, constructive, and helpful, however, they used all their leverage getting the deal done.

They Fixate on the Margin
Generally a strong firm. Halfway between PE and VC. They prefer revenue and CM over fast growth and a potentially 1000x outcome—make sure that aligns to your approach. Slightly conservative/traditional. Supportive.

Altered my Mindset
They have reset my expectations of UK VC's - they have been very supportive and pragmatic. I would definitely work with them again and recommend them.
