Review on Scale Venture Partners by Jeff Jackson

Revainrating 3 out of 5

The company seems to be focusing on the wrong things.

They seem to be focused on the wrong thing. They invest in software companies, but their portfolio is completely dominated by internet-based businesses. They're trying to transform how we work, but the idea of working differently is so new that the vast majority of their investments aren't helping anybody work better. I've been through several interviews there and they just don't understand anything about startups or founders at all. Their questions always assume you know something when you actually don't. And then they give you some lame answer like "Well..we haven't invested yet".

Pros
  • Great UI
  • Lots of funding, good talent pool
  • No equity, no vesting cliff, unlimited runway (at least until 2020)
Cons
  • The first two years are brutal
  • They won't invest unless they already have $
