Josh Breinlinger is First Rate
Fund: Sigma Partners
Posted by fearless on 2011-06-05
I've pitched to Sigma twice for two different start-ups, and Bob Spinner and Josh Breinlinger are sharp, honest people who genuinely want to help founders - whether they end up investing or not.
I think Josh attends a decent amount of shows and conferences, so try and pitch him first if you can. He'll give you input on your model if asked, and possibly presentation tips. A young, rising star in the VC world IMHO, and just a good guy overall.
I've also pitched to Greg Gretsch before and it helps to read his blog before the presentation to get an idea of how he views startup models - he's very marketing metrics centric. He may eat an apple in front of you during your pitch - don't let it throw you.
