Also, some investments are "tools.for bootstrapping" which they push in emails. Do I really need your special tool at $100/month to "transparently report monthly statistics to investors" ?
Getting any capital is not easy. Every new investor would be welcomed.
But this seems very under whelming to me.
Any thoughts ?
I've been able to hire a few folks to join the company, ship features faster, increase revenue to new heights and are always there as my first point of call as a solo-founder. It's a tough job but the support has been super helpful. From other founders in the same position as me as well as from the mentor network.
From the inside, the other founders are growing each month and bringing in more and more revenue - so based on the way they invest it looks like everything is going in the right direction.
I'd recommend it as a current Earnest-backed founder for sure. Happy for others to reach out if they're considering it too.
So it seems like if they only hit it off with X founders then they should only invest in X companies/founders? They're putting the emphasis on living with people as opposed to quick exits?
So it seems like @bentossel's review of them should mean a lot more than the number of investments or the dollar amounts?
One problem that investors, revenue and profit can't always fix is working with terrible people, btw.
