Very Strong Firm

Fund: Clearstone Venture Partners

PUBLIC:

These guys are great to work with. They genuinely care about building great businesses and don't sweat the small stuff. Negotiation was concluded with a handshake over dinner and then sent to lawyers for processing. They are very entrepreneur-friendly, get to yes (or no) fast and believe that management is key.
