Many binary options and forex trading brokers are not trustworthy. There are only a few platforms you can trust . I once hired a cybersecurity defense expert on twi t t er, mattjakob78, who helped me recover my lost funds from fake brokers . I almost lost my life fortune . This is why I’ll always tell people to consult cybersecurity experts, blockchain devs and crypto financial advisors before looking into trading platforms.
Pros
Easy to access .
Cons

The right balance of guidance and freedom
Pros
- investment guidance
- a lot of stuff is agreed on a gentlemen's agreement basis first. Nation 1 always followed through
- willing to always spend time when/if asked
- no unnecessary hassle
- not a lot of ego
- dealing with Nation1 seems fair
Cons
- investment committee - the process resembling Dragon's den felt unnecessary. On the other hand, we connected with more interesting people than we would have otherwise...
Advice for management
I like where you are heading, keep on improving.

Nation 1 creates an environment of mutual partnership with their startups and is constantly trying to help them to prosper.
Pros
Nation 1 is great in terms of the transparency of their communication and the overall style of leading the collaboration. Their feedback points are cogent and they try to help the startups as much as possible. They don't burden their startups with unnecessary administration during the due diligence process and they're generally a great partner to work with.

Slow and conservative fund. But honest and professional
Pros
They seemed forthcoming and honest with their feedback
Cons
I was in touch for a really long time with the founder of the fund because it took him several years to raise his first fund.
When they were finally ready to invest they seemed to me very conservative and if I am not mistaken they only did a couple of deals during the first year of their fund.
Also got only a generic feedback from them about "crowded market" as I think they lacked a domain expert on our case.
Advice for management
Do more deals
