Understand Firm Intent
Fund: General Catalyst
Posted by Anonymous on 2008-07-08
Like any fund, there are a wide variety of different personalities and skill levels represented by the partners and associates. General Catalyst has grown very fast and have some real inexperienced and unproven professionals in their ranks.
I also found that there is a great delta between the hype that they put on themselves and the reality of who they are. They are not "proven entrepreneurs" as they state but rather a rag-tag bunch of spoiled brats, mama's boys, and also rans.
They are however, masters of spin, so if you have a fluffy idea with no substance, this is the firm to take it to.
For the rest of us, run as fast as you can.
