Their Overfocus on Risk Assessment is Interesting...

To me it seems as if they are focusing too much on eliminating any possible risk rather than to balance the associated risk against the market opportunity. After all it is venture capital we are talking about here, not a bank loan. We had to spend too much time taking out any risk and we therefore decided that the time spent with them was not worth it.
I also consider them to be very cheap when it comes to the size of the investment. You just get the feeling that whatever investment sum you bring up they will divide it by two without actually assessing whether the requested investment is adequate or not.
