    PUBLIC:

    I've met now twice with Bill K. who has been very professional, insightful and above board. Though we are a little unclear as to where they stand, my partner and I have nothing but the highest regards for what our experience has been thus far.

    Posted by Anonymous on 2008-03-08

    PUBLIC:

    I've heard this a few times that Bill Helman has all the power and that both Bills (Bill Kaiser is the other) need to be on Board if you want your deal done. I friend of mine was spend a consider about of time with another partner only to have deal nixed at end. Have other had similar experience?

    Great Group

    Greylock is by far the best group of venture professionals that I have had the privledge of interacting with. They are extremely well connected and do not hesitate to use their connections to help out.

    They move fast when they see something they want and they are extremely fair in negotiations. I would recommend Greylock to anyone who has the opportunity to do a deal with them!

    Charles Chi A Class Act

    Fund: Greylock Partners

    Posted by Anonymous on 2008-01-01

    PUBLIC:

    I pitched Charles Chi a few years ago for our Series A, and it was a very good experience as he immediately concluded that it wasn't a good fit and very politely told us why. We didn't waste anyone's time futher.

    I stay in touch with Charles from time to time and always find that he is friendly and direct. Its so unusual that I thought I should write up my experience here.

    David Strohm Is Very Sharp

    Fund: Greylock Partners

    Posted by Deans on 2007-09-25

    PUBLIC:

    Greylock funded one of the first companies that I worked for & I met David Strohm through that association. I kept in touch with him through the years and have always been impressed. He's confident, but not arrogant & he's a real pleasure to deal with.

    Bill Helman

    Fund: Greylock Partners

    Posted by Anonymouos on 2007-09-13

    PUBLIC:

    I have heard from folks who have worked with him that he has an ego the size of a football stadium, but that "you know where you stand". I know a few LP's and apparently he's never had the kind of grand slam many of his contemporaries have which might explain the ego issues.

    The general word on the street is that the west coast is really dominating the firm and the few deals being done out of the Boston office are late stage deals.

    Go For The Partners

    Fund: Greylock Partners

    Posted by RuralRoute6 on 2007-08-19

    PUBLIC:

    Principals and Associates offered very little if any insights and were unable to grasp simple online advertising concepts. Of all the pitches, they offered the least strategic insights and questions. Good people but just going through the motions of "looking at every deal". Mistake was to assume they would bring in Partners.

    Polite But Sketchy

    Fund: Greylock Partners

    Posted by beyondfunded on 2007-08-17

    PUBLIC:

    I must second all other comments. I met with Bill Kaiser, Eve Phillips and a few associates and while they all were very polite, they were also very arrogant and very aggressive. Also, you could feel the internal tension (my conversation with them always had people from different offices cutting each other off and not agreeing with each other).

    Never Again

    Fund: Greylock Partners

    Posted by Anonymous on 2007-08-12

    PUBLIC:

    Twice is enough, and the same things keep happening there after the people change. They'll change their minds and blame the other partners, they'll make decisions they don't really like then look for someone else to blame. They tolerate bad management for too long and then - wham! - they change everything. All ego, no help, no partnership. It's just not worth it.
