Honest and Focused
Fund: Amplifier Ventures

Amplifier prefers investments within a small focus and with IP defensibility. Jonathan was an attorney in his past life and has seen a lot of deals. He provides great feedback and has a heart of gold. He told me he prefers not to meet entrepreneurs because he hates to say no but for the sake of his investors, he must focus on what they know and are comfortable with.
Although we didn't do a deal with him, due to limited IP defensibility and also he's raising more capital so timing isn't right, if you do meet with him he will provide you great advice even on how best to phrase your pitch, etc. If you get the chance, take the meeting - it will help.
