Good Conversation, but Afraid to Move
Smart and encouraging, but it is unclear if they are interested in taking on any risk right now.

Helpfull Feedback
Agree with the post below. I met with Assaf a few times at an early stage. Very sharp and knowledgeable guy. He knew our space well and gave us great insight that helped us sharpen our pitch and business focus. He was generous with his time and willing to engage in a real conversation, which is refreshing for a VC. Overall, thumbs up on Sequoia.

Pitched, Fast and Relevant Input
High marks for operational efficiency.
Met with Assaf - analyst, good guy, got the idea, had relevant comments. Promised answers after taking it to the partners within a week, and answers came 2 weeks later - to do a number of specific things and come back to them.

Pitch a Partner, and Not an "Analyst"
Naturally, Sequoia would have a great rep, even in Israel. The partners themselves have sterling reputations, though the lowly analysts do not.

Not Shareholder Friendly
When they invest, they dilute the existing shareholders down.

One of the Best in Israel
They have a solid background in communication, internet and telecom. Great group of people. You will learn a lot regardless of the outcome.

Approach 1st Level VC's with Caution
Worked with Shmil Levy - who I agree is probably the best VC in Israel. Sequoia is generally less concerned with IRR than some others I worked with.

Shmil Levy is the Best VC in Israel
Shmil Levy is as good as it gets in Israel. Any entrepreneur should aspire to be funded by such a strong fund and have such great value add investor like that on their board. Shmil is very down-to-earth, hands-on with vast operating experience and would not waste your time if he is not interested.
