Pitched these guys a few months ago. They liked the concept. After a 3 hour initial meeting, we spent the next several weeks refining our financial model at their request. Ultimately, they didn't buy in to the size of our potential market/exit value, so the deal didn't happen. But they were helpful, relatively responsive, professional and courteous at all times. I can't tell you what they'd be like after closing, but I would have liked to find out as I believe that they would have brought valuable operational experience in addition to their money. On the whole, I'm very positive about these guys. One negative - their initial response was so enthusiastic that it seemed we were much closer to a deal than we actually were. I'm used to the standard VC bluff and bluster, but this was beyond that, which made it all the more disappointing when they passed. But all in all, the two partners I met were good guys, smart, and insightful.
