Sharp Guys, Good Pitch Experience

Fund: The Founders Fund

Posted by Anonymous on 2008-10-14

PUBLIC:

Really enjoyed meeting with these guys. We were in late stages of our fundraising with another firm, but were introed via a friend and took the meeting.

Got grilled (in particular) by Luke and Sean. They clearly got what we were doing and offered incisive comments and feedback (positive and negative). Appreciated the no-bullshit attitude and their desire to build big independent companies with lasting legacies.

After the meeting, all of them tried our product, and Ken followed up promptly.

Top Five Early Stage Fund

Fund: The Founders Fund

Posted by auren on 2007-07-17

PUBLIC:

we've been a beneficiary of being a founders fund company. we've been very happy with them. they are extremely smart, helpful, and active. Thiel is probably the best strategist i have ever talked with. Ken and Luke are super helpful. Sean Parker is massively helpful on viral marketing. every early stage entrepreneur should meet with FF before raising capital.
