3.4 Great Partner/Seasoned Investing and Operating Experience
Fund: S3 Ventures
Posted by CEO - SIQ on 2007-09-28
It was a pleasant experience dealing with S3. The most compelling advantage was that the Partners come from a hands-on operating background and avoid all of the annoying VC hyperbole, delay tactics, hand-offs, soft insults and other generalizations. They can speak from their experiences. Brian/Steve are quick to say yes or no. Many other VCs seem to be more concerned about which VCs have you have talked to and who said yes and who said no as if they can't reach conclusion on their own. S3 made the decisions based on the company, market, team and experience and didn't wait for other VC validation. They do their own work including attending an industry conference to validate their conclusions before funding. Finally, as a refreshing change, the whole process was as quick as I have seen it done.
