One of my favorite recently discovered sites is Thefunded.com This is sort of like Amazon recommendations meet the old closed venture capital community. You get the inside scoop from entrepreneurs who have pitched or worked with funds and they rate VCs and write reviews. In the past, it was very hard to get the inside view unless you knew the right people who were closely familiar with those funds. I found it very enjoyable to browse through and read about all the VCs that I know and used to work with in the past. You have to take some of these reviews with a grain of salt as some of these are people that are trying to get back at VCs personally but it easier to spot the better performing funds. It is good too see that one of our lead investors Opus Capital has received very consistent and positive ratings.

It is amazing that while Adeo Ressi being paid and funded to run a company, he had the time to start and operate this venture. Any entrepreneur or executive at a startup knows that to be successful you need to give all your time, energy, and focus to building the company. The fact he was doing this on the side is acknowledgment he was cheating the company, the company’s employees, and his investors.
