If You are So Overloaded, Why Call US In?

PUBLIC:

This guy has a bad case of ADD and really pretends to be super busy all the time. Everything mentioned in the above two reviews and comments (the negative parts that is) seem to be true. This guy is an A class self promoter with all other skills being questionable. No follow up, discourteous, pretending to be constantly busy or on vacation. Would not recommend wasting your time to meet him at all.

Classy and to the Point

PUBLIC:

He was very to the point and upfront about the space he invests in. Didn't waste time in asking questions like some angels/VC's who never have the intent but want to dig for as much information.

After reviewing our exec summary, Jeff took our initial pitch meeting. He passed, but he failed to disclose that he had already made an investment in a competing company...

Great Early Stage VC: Jeff is a Real Asset

Fund: SoftTech VC

PUBLIC:

I think Jeff will become a superstar in the next few years, as he has already has made some successful exits. More importantly for me, though, he has been a very entrepreneur-friendly investor. His due diligence process is quick. He is fairly transparent in his decision making. And moves quickly when he decides to invest. Post investment he has been very engaged in giving solicited advice, contacting other prospective investors on our behalf and even generating a little press for us.
