Don't you mean "without specific reasoning/metrics behind them"?
- cbhl 9y agoI think they're saying the "no" had specific reasons and metrics for the no.
- kornish 9y agoHe's saying that they made a decision, then explained the reason for their decision. That's the best possible way to receive a No as a founder.
- yebyen 9y agoI don't think so, I think it says he was really pleased with the rejection (and that could have been because it came with actionable feedback, like reasons and metrics.)
- mtgx 9y agoI think a comma is missing: > Almost immediate and right to the point that they wouldn't invest, with specific reasoning/metrics behind them.
