Smart, Friendly, No Nonsense
Reponded well to the pitch, asked very smart questions. Hard to get to with a cold call - find someone who can introduce you.

Don't Bother.
We have been intensely dealing with a dozen VC in the last few weeks and these have been the least considerate, twice. They have pressured us to be part of the process, rescheduled more than once, the partner was replaced at the last moment by a junior. The overall feeling is of lost time, non-professionalism. It's simply been the worst attitude I've seen in a long time.

Entrepreneur Beware
Has a well-deserved reputation of being entrepreneur unfriendly, taking advantage of inexperience and making empty promises. Job #1 is to get rid of founders, steal their stock and install compliant cronies/family into management roles. Many examples.

A delight to work with. Seriously consider for reducing testosterone levels on a board.
