Howard Hartenbaum Great Experience

Fund: August Capital

Posted by scottdunlap on 2010-02-01

PUBLIC:

I've pitched Howard a few business plans now, and he is quick and thoughtful with his feedback. When he pointed out a few holes where he was uncomfortable, he also helped make introductions to potential clients who could help flush those out. When the potential clients said what he hoped, he invested.

After switching to August, he has been less involved in our company but still makes the time to connect us to important partners. He's actually far more involved than any of our current board members/investors. I will continue to go to Howard for a first round of feedback on any idea, and would recommend others do the same.

Vivek Mehra Very Impressive

Fund: August Capital

Posted by KuH on 2008-04-12

PUBLIC:

Have been very impressed by Vivek Mehra to date: very thoughtful; listens to what you say and then asks the one further intelligent question which shows that he has been following you and then wants to understand the implications.

Not invested in us ... and an excellent interaction.

Andy Rappaport: Good Board Member

Working as CEO with Andy on my board. He adds a lot, pushs me and team with good insight and requests. Will spend the time if needed, if not, he leaves us alone!

Very Bright

Fund: August Capital

PUBLIC:

Pitched Marquardt and Rappaport on a deal outside the box. They spent almost 2 hours listening and asking very good questions.

We did not pursue them, and they did not move forward, but were impressed by them.

Good Experience, but in the End Just Another Venture Firm

Fund: August Capital

Posted by Anonymous on 2009-05-12

PUBLIC:

The overall funding process was straightforward. They can sure make a decision fast when they want to. Good people and reliable. But in the end not much added value.
