Good Fund, Good Guys

Fund: Lightspeed Venture Partners

Posted by mrgeek on 2007-06-01

I have worked with Lightspeed guys for 10+ years, in particular Peter Nieh and Ravi Mhatre. Good, hardworking guys and a good fund that understand enterprise software and how to nurture companies. They were beyond patient with some deals that went shitty after the dotcom bust.

On some of the comments here, note that if you do not know how to pitch to VCs they are not going to be so pleasant, so get a short elevator pitch down that communicates your value prop, don't expect meetings to start on time, and don't have more than 15 slides.
