Got Our Pick
MMC was the only fund where we had a meeting that included racial AND gender diversity. It was also the only fund that felt less hierarchical - non-partners seemed respected and listened to.
Very few founders have real choice when raising but we wanted MMC in our round and that’s because they were smart, practical and diverse. Since the raise they have proven that all to be true.
Note - they are diverse by VC standards. They are not diverse by any other standards.

Dreams Worth More Than Money
Really great to deal with, if we hadn't raised, we'd have kept in touch for the network, education sessions and intel they have.

For the Best
Seemed quite rude and low energy on the call. Never responded to me afterwards. General impression was poor.

Out in the Cold
Investor appeared disinterest and distracted throughout the pitch. Then ghosted me afterwards. No feedback. No response. Nothing.

Followed our main investor, but have been engaged and highly supportive. Have many value-add services and offers as part of their support which has really helped. Also really nice people!

They've Supported Us, We Want to Support Them
It has been a pleasure to work with the MMC team over the years. They have been very supportive throughout and their involvement has been very tailored based on the business needs and stage which is helpful. They are very well connected in the industry and have been supportive through the fundraise process when raising from other investors. It's certainly a fund I would like to partner with again in the future.

MMC Were the Ones for Me
I have had MMC invest and then be on my board for 5 years. They are fair, supportive and I would recommend them to other founders. Would raise from them again.

Living in the Future Because the Present is the Past
We have always really valued the feedback from MMC. As a fund more familiar with firms at a later stage than ours, they provide invaluable insight to help us prepare ourselves and our business for the next stage of growth whilst remaining focused on present challenges.

Oblivious
I was told I want deck had been reviewed and we were too early stage. They had never been sent a deck and we have significant traction.

Imposer Syndrome Without the Syndrome
Warm introduction followed by very little engagement. When responses came they betrayed complacency and arrogance.

Health Warning
MMC Ventures on paper are a reasonably credible outfit for an angel group with a smart analytic team and a good network of smart investors who endeavour to be supportive.
