No Investment, but Great Experience
Fund: Alsop Louie Partners

I had three meetings with with Alsop-Louie. They passed, but continue to help us with VC and customer introductions.
Gilman (also see my comments under his name) brings a refreshing level of energy and curiosity into a meeting. He has real operational experience, and this leads him to treat entrepreneurs with respect. Even though he passed on our deal, he continues to make introductions for us, and serve as a reference.
I don't know Stewart as well, but he has great experience in the consumer market, and is very well connected in the valley.
They're a small fund with two partners, so it might take some time to get "in" to see them, but they're well worth the stop. Oh, and beware of their spam filter on email -- picking up the phone to double-check is a good idea.
