Avoid And Save Time

Fund: Artiman Ventures

Posted by Anonymous on 2008-08-01

PUBLIC:

Claiming to be early-stage investor is fashionable. Artiman is no exception. But their concept of early stage seems to be a fully proven business with patent protections, revenue, and everything else you expect of an already successful company on the verge of IPO or acquisition. They have a basic distrust of "techies". So if you are a techie (or so they think), even before they hear your pitch, they have already started searching for a new CEO (a so-called "business guy") to head your company. Master time wasters as far as new technology businesses are concerned. Basically there is not a single partner onboard who understands technology. No wonder their recent investments look like a bunch of lemons.

Used As Friendly Sounding Board

Pitched to Amit and found an engaged and constructive critic. Amit identified several issues and we had a very amicable discussion how to solve these issues. Amit also shared ideas about deal trends and suggested different monetization opportunities to sync up with these trends.

Sloooow Nooooo

PUBLIC:

We spent several months talking with them but they eventually did not fund us. In general, they are a waste of time, arrogant and ethically challenged.

They Like To Think They Think Outside The Box

Fund: Artiman Ventures

Posted by Anonymous on 2008-01-13

PUBLIC:

Artiman thinks it thinks outside the box. They do deals which are unusual. it is unclear however whether they understand enough about these businesses to be good judges.
