Mamoon is Unethical
Pitched them last year. During the meeting, there was obviously no chemistry so and we opted to amicably end the call early. Following, Mamoon proceeded to call my current investors (who he had ever spoken with before) and tell them that I am "unfundable." As you can imagine, this was incredibly damaging on many levels.

Could Have Been Better.
The introduction was via a friend who was plugged in (to be honest, it was light plug).

Great Experience Working with Paul
I have had the pleasure of working with Paul since 1999, when he joined the board of directors at Homestead Technologies. He joined the board originally as an independent advisor, prior to joining USVP, so I have had the chance to work with him on the board while he was an entrepreneur, as well as later when he became a venture capitalist.

Tim Connors is Awful
Tim was on the Board of my company and I don't think I was ever more micro managed then by someone like Tim. He lied to us a number of times and never had any other interest then himself in our company. I haven't work with any of the other partners there so I can't speak for them other then I found them very professional during our funding process. By all means stay away from Tim at all costs.

Through Preliminary Analysis
While our company is still in the process of preliminary due diligence, and have not passed to the stage of term sheet and in-depth due diligence, I must say I am impressed by USVP's attitude and seriousness. While all along they clarified that this is only the first stage, the depth of the questions and the intention to learn seriously the business of my company was extraordinary and very different than any other VC so far; even VC's that wanted to move forward with a term sheet.

CEO
Without USVP and specifically Irwin Federman's support and guidance Mellanox would have not been a public succesful company as it is today.

Experienced Team with Long Term Vision
My company was recently funded by USVP. The pitching process and due diligence were rigorous but fair. I had the opportunity to spend time with the full partnership and I was impressed by their immediate understanding of the big opportunity that my company is seeking to exploit. Prior to committing to USVP I called several portfolio Founders and CEOs. They all raved about Irwin Federman. "If you are lucky enough to have Irwin as your investor then you should count your blessings" Each call was progressively more complimentary of Irwin and the USVP team.
