Good So Cal a Round Fund
Fund: Palomar Ventures
Posted by mktgmann on 2008-04-30
We pitched Amanda Reed and Palomar last year, and although we ended up not going with them, they were good to work with.
Palomar is a traditional small-midsized VC doing earlier stage deals. You probably should have some working product and revenue, but they also do seed stage. The partners all seem to be more of the hands-on operating types, not as many former wall-street or big name firm types.
Amanda immediately understood our business model, was very aggressive and efficient about her due diligence and getting us in front of her partnership. In fact, if anything, we had to slow them down a bit for our process.
Amanda/Palomar provided us a reasonable term sheet on both valuation and T's and C's and I would certainly recommend them to software companies who are seeking A-round funding.
