While it is relatively early in the game, Mike has established himself as a top early stage VC with a very good track record of picking investments and helping get them to the next level. Beyond that, he's a really nice guy - the rare VC who can make you feel good about your idea and your company even if he passes, and can add a lot of value to your company if he decides to invest (he's also willing to go the extra mile to help you out if he passes).
He takes you seriously at your meeting (always on time, never checking email or using his computer during it), and his suggestions are the ones you leave the meeting thinking about how to implement in the future.
