Positive Experience With Dfjg
Fund: Draper Fisher Jurvetson Gotham Ventures

DFJ Gotham lead our Series A round. Danny Schultz is the partner we primarily work with. Working with DFJG was, overall, a positive experience. We had a complex Series A because it was a spin-out, and Danny/DFJG was patient in working through the nuances. We got the deal done on what we considered fair terms and in a reasonable time frame, given the complexity.
Operationally, DFJG is very active, which is great for early stage firms with receptive management. If you like doing it your way or the highway and don't want to hear advice from your investors, then DFJG isn't for you.
Overall, Danny/DFJG has been firm but fair with us. I've dealt with a lot of VC investors and I can't say that about all (most).
Were I to do it all over again, I'd take money from DFJG.
