Good Investor, Analytic Team
Fund: S3 Ventures
Posted by e4r5t on 2010-03-22
My company raised money from S3 and I worked directly with Brian Smith on our board through an acquisition exit. Brian is very analytical and likes to deal with facts. What was best about him is that as a CEO I never had to guess where he stood on an issue. He was clear and to the point, which I appreciated. It made it easier to interact and to know what needed my attention and what didn't. Brian is a strong negotiator and will deal with hard data. Have your numbers prepared and be able to explain decisions with information, not just opinion or conjecture. Brian helped us push for the best deal possible during our exit. He never let up and it was of value during the process. Good early stage investor. Tough negotiator. Added great value to the growing of our business.
