Mike Dodd is a phenomenal addition to the board of a company. He trusts his founders but is always there to provide feedback/insights/ideas when asked. His experience as an operator at Ancestry.com allows him too understand the decisions required of founders. This perspective is valuable as a company navigates growth. Their process was strait forward and were willing to cut a fair deal for the company. Silverton is well connected and the team is willing to make intros and vet hires. 100% would recommend.

Was intro'd to David and had one phone call. He's clearly sharp and active in the space; however he seemed to jump to some very strong convictions about our business very, very quickly on the call. He was also pretty distracted during the call (which happens) so it was hard to sort of really feel like we were making progress through any of his objections. Overall a fine conversation but not one that I would prioritize for another founder.

Eric's a very nice person & the one thing that no one can take away from him is how much of a hustler he is. However, he does tend to make a lot of empty promises. He'll be really excited about your company and then drop off the radar completely when it no longer interests him.

I haven't been impressed with Antler as a VC firm. They haven't been super helpful even though they take a program fee. I would avoid them if you can. The only benefit they bring is for future fundraising. If you are looking for any other support, don't count on Antler. This is generally the sentiment that we have heard from other founders who received funding too.

I have been fortunate enough to work with Lissie for almost 4 years now, and very few investors are as reliable, supportive, and empathetic as she is. Like all startups, we've gone through our ups and down, and in Lissie we have found a partner who is always willing to roll her sleeves up and help us clear whatever hurdle is in our way. This past year, that has been on the Marketing/PR front as it's a role we haven't been able to justify hiring for FT just yet, so Lissie has gone above and beyond to help us piece together our strategy, source and vet third party partners, and ultimately have a very successful public launch. Lissie definitely shares the same values as Alexis and Katelin, and is yet another reason why 776 is our favorite investor on our cap table.

Never work with them. I've seen friends get term sheets with terrible terms. They take advantage of young founders. To top it off, they never wired the money after signing for us

Our team had never met Shawn Merani before we pitched him virtually (during the pandemic). While he loved what we do, our business is outside of his investment scope. Shawn is very bright, personable and asks great questions. Despite not being a fit for our business, he made warm introductions for us to a couple firms that would be good fits for us. He is a "class act" and someone we would highly recommend to other founders.

She passed on our startup, but definitely had been doing her research and was generally quite friendly and responsive. We only had one call, but definitely much respect to her!

Independent of the recent history, Dave was a straight up solid investor, always helpful. He was early in our first Startup and was still there when we weren't doing all that well.

Ameet was among the best people we worked with during fundraising. He's collaborative and straightforward with a clear aim to make an investment both sides are fully bought into. He also helps coach seed companies through the process without making it feel like a negotiation / obligation which was super helpful. Would definitely recommend reaching out to him.
