Fast Moving, Well Connected with Deep Pockets
Fund: S3 Ventures
Posted by Callvine CEO on 2010-03-08
I found S3 to be quick to offer feedback and very hands-on in a helpful way once they've decided they like the market and the company. They are not a big organization, so they are fairly picky and the deal must hit one of their sweet spots, but they are a quick study and I found their direct communications and straight-shooter style to be far superior to many other VC's. They are not just another small Austin fund that piggybacks on other VC fundings as they have strong operational experience, deep connections and access to serious capital resources without the hidden agendas or committee decision making that often come with larger funds.
I would strongly suggest technology and medical entrepreneurs looking for capital in the region approach S3 in addition to others.
