Don't Go Near This

Fund: Applied Ventures

Posted by Anonymous on 2010-06-20

PUBLIC:

This is one of the most unethical bunch of VC groups I have ever come across. These people do not have any respect or regard for others effort and cost. It comes from the company this fund has originated perhaps. All they want is to steal your ideas and if possible technology outright. Being one of the largest companies in silicon valley, this is outright disgusting and shameful.

Applied is Very Good to Work With

PUBLIC:

My experience with Applied has been very good in terms of the integrity and hard work of the partner I have worked with as well as in Applied's willingness to really pitch in and help my company once I became part of their portfolio.

Talk about Hoops

Fund: Applied Ventures

Posted by anonymous on 2007-09-06

PUBLIC:

Responsiveness is not very good with this fund, I found the contacts we had to be pleasant enough but in initial diligence calls the representatives they got to ask us intelligent questions neither knew the area we were addressing nor could keep their opinions of the industry to themselves, causing severe disruption to the meeting agenda and I was further disappointed by Applied's inability to control the meeting. The process was very drawn out even to get to the stage where qualified interest could be determined.
