Founders' reviews of Eden Ventures VC fund

Flaky
While the rest of the partners may be trustworthy, a chain is only as strong as it's weakest link. Sadly our experience with Ben was poor. Lack of transparency, lack of commitment (he didn't show to a meeting leaving many startups disappointed) and improper communication (he directly contradicts everything the Eden website states in his one liners).

Extremely Pleasant, Responsive, but Conservative
Eden is a small fund run by multiple serial entrepreneurs. Having pitched to them as an entrepreneur and consultant several times they have always taking our pitches very seriously, leaned forward and offered advice.

Unethical and Untrustworthy?
We engaged in extended discussions with this firm via partner Ben Tompkins. Ultimately they declined to invest, although the conversation ended seemingly on a friendly and positive note.

One of the Best VC's in the Uk
Nice guys with a great entrepreneurial background. Dealt with them a couple of times,
they took the time to understand the proposition and the market and did not waste time once they were not convinced.

A West Coast Approach to European Start Ups
Recently closed with Eden and experience so far is very positive. Passionate, enthusiastic, strong on mentoring and, because of their entrepreneurial background, understand what we're going through and the support we need. Other portfolio companies report similarly positive outlook. Proactive approach similar to the West Coast outfits - much needed and very missing in Europe. They're also nice guys!

Created by Entrepreneurs for Entrerpeneurs
Respected team of entrepreneurs who have now gone into investing their own as well as LP money. Clearly will be able to add value for any start up company by refining business model and keeping costs low. Good operating experience. Raised first fund just over a year ago so well worth pitching to. Interesting mix in current portfolio but focused on software.
