Great Conversation Followed by Strange Silence
Had a series of great meetings with Steve and his partners. They were focused, respectful and prompt throughout. Unfortunately it fell off from there and we don't really know what happened. They seem to be a great group.

Scotty, Beam Me Away
A late stage fund that thinks it's an angel fund. An angel fund that thinks it's a late stage fund. They can't make up their minds about who they are.

Ever Changing Partners
They were going through some management shake outs, and we had three different partners over the time period from funding through selling the company.

Not sure about any of the names listed above, except of course Paul Allen (I bet he doesn't do pitch meetings). The venture team includes Steve Hall, Eric Bell and Peter something. The private equity team is a lot bigger, I think 13 professionals. I worked with Zander Doroski on a second or third round deal when he was at Lehman. I really liked him!
