We approached a number of VC's in different locations for our financial technology pitch. Most were located in New York and Boston with a couple in California. While we may have found some of the north east folks a bit more knowledgeable in our particular area of fin tech, the TTV folks were bright and did their research. That said, and perhaps this is due to the fact that they are based in Atlanta, the standout characteristic of the firm was their lack of arrogance and the fact that, whether we agreed or disagreed, they were a pleasure do deal with. The one lesson I have learned during this process, is you will almost never get everything you want, I will say in this case, we still closed a deal that we were comfortable and satisfied with.

Originally thought that TTV would not be a good fit for my firm given their LP ties (Synovus and CheckFree) but after pitching them realized they are not tied to them for exit or operational strategies. If you have any type of finserv orientation in your solution you should approach them as they see and hear a lot of deals in that market and can provide a lot of feedback and validation. They tend to be spread thin so you'll have to persist to get into them so find a trusted source for a referal to break through the noise and get attention.
