Tangential… Airtree historically has a pretty poor reputation amongst founders who have taken money off them and amongst angel investors. I don’t have first hand knowledge but at least half a dozen unique second or third hand data points => dodgy tactics even at early stage and can micromanage founders.

Just want to set the record straight here, AirTree folks were incredibly helpful. If offered, I'd take money from them again in a heartbeat.

Really appreciate you commenting.

The worst thing about not being in the US is that there isn't enough public data points about which VCs are good or not.

And founders like Manish aren't stupid/drunk enough to ever spill the beans.
