Good (Non Funding) Experience Working with Them
Fund: Benchmark Capital
Posted by randfish on 2009-07-01
I've worked professionally (in a consulting and partnership role) with lots of folks from Benchmark - Rich Barton, Bill Gurley, Michael Eisenberg & Nirav Tolia, and always been impressed with their intelligence, professionalism and respectfulness. I think they're smart folks with a good brand name (and they do leverage that, though not in an insulting fashion).
I have not pitched to them formally nor have I taken funding from them, but have done work on several projects with Benchmark and would count them among the better relationships I've had in the professional VC world.
