Not sure if you all have seen https://www.vcguide.co/ 

It's an anonymous review site for venture investors. I think there are positives and negatives to having a site like this.

Sometimes the entrepreneur may be communicating with an associate the entire time. The associate ends up communicating that it's a "no" on moving forward.

The entrepreneur is then mad, but likely at the wrong person.

The lead partner may not have liked your company.

But, that associate gets the negative review and likely didn't deserve it.

The good of having a site like this is it does hold the venture investors more accountable on running a consistent process, which is defensible.

I compare it to a companies hiring process. When hiring, I want each candidate to have a comparable experience.

The end result likely varies. They either get offered a role or not.

However, I want each one of them to get interviewed the same and all given feedback.

While chatting about this. I wanted to call out a few GOOD investors...in a public way.

The folks at @M25vc invested in my first healthcare company. @lalayak, @DMikeAsem, @itsabhinaya, and their entire team are all top notch.

I've also gotten to know the group at @allosvc well in the last 6 months or so. They are fantastic too.

In the past few months, I've chatted with @KapurGyan. I've been impressed with his candidness, intelligence, and responsiveness.

I would put @mucker in this group as well. They are based in LA and have been a breath of fresh air.

Entrepreneurs don't only use an anonymous tool to give shoutouts to your favorite investors.

Make it public. Stand behind it, when you have a good interaction. That will help their deal flow.

You want the good folks to win the deals for the best companies.

It helps to ensure they are around for years to come.

Tag investors in this thread that you have worked with and want everyone to know that they are great.
