Verified relationship

Sharp on marketplaces, but hard to pin down

Marcus clearly knows marketplace dynamics cold and the first meeting was excellent. Scheduling follow-ups took weeks and messages went unanswered for long stretches.

Pros

Strong domain expertise, good first meeting

Cons

Poor follow-through on scheduling and replies

Verified relationship

Dragged out diligence, then ghosted

Six weeks of data requests and three partner meetings, then silence. Had to hear the pass from an associate. Not the worst terms discussed, but the process cost us momentum with other funds.

Pros

Thoughtful questions early

Cons

Slow, went dark, no clear decision owner
