Good Pitch Process

Fund: Hummer Winblad Venture Partners

Posted by Anonymous on 2009-07-20

PUBLIC:

I recently pitched HW and also pitched them several years ago. For this most recent pitch, they cold called me after we received some positive press. I met with John and Lars; they were both smart and polite and when it became clear that we were competitive with another of their portfolio company's strategy, they told me immediately. The courtesy and ethical behavior was appreciated. I would happily pitch again. Several years ago I had a similar positive experience with Ann - a quick polite no with clear reasons why she passed.
