Vantaggi
- Co-founders have exceptional backgrounds with deep deal expertise that goes back to the dotcom years - Tied to the above, Touchdown receives top-notch deal flow access - Firm is growing quickly, suggesting the model is working - A+ culture that invests in its employees and follows a "promote from within" mantra
Svantaggi
- Some of the work can feel consulting-y at times; however, any good VC has to demonstrate results at least four times a year to their LPs. Touchdown does the same just more frequently - Limited say in what fund you'll work on, although the firm screens for this upfront (i.e. they typically look for new hires with a background suited specifically for the fund she would work on) - The firm is very process driven; a good thing in bad times (weeds out bad deals), less so in good times (not always easy to keep pace with fast deals in a frothy market)
