Avoid Pitching Rich De Silva
Fund: Highland Capital Partners

I had a similar experience to others who commented. I pitched an associate who seemed rather interested and then didn't bother to respond. I echo the recommendation that if you cannot get to a partner, don't bother.
After working hard at getting to Rich I finally got a meeting. He showed up late, kept responding to Blackberry messages throughout the meeting and was interrupted twice by his assistant for an "emergency" and left me sitting at the conference table staring at the wall.
