NVG moved quickly and closed a major round of funding with us. Unlike other angel groups I've worked with they moved fast and didn't push hard on the terms we presented. They subsequently reinvested with the same ease and professionalism as in the previous round. Both John May and Sam Sezak have been available for advice and help, but not overly hands on. Something, which I'm sure any entrepreneur would appreciate.

John is also active on a number of other angel groups, including Investor Circle (which focuses primarily on green companies), and was very helpful in making introductions that resulted in further financing.

I have seen the group be very aggressive (maybe to an extreme) in reviewing investments and if you can pass through the gauntlet everything is as you would hope it would be.
