The VC obviously got what they wanted, so take the hint. The only recourse you have at this point is legal- something like tortious interference with contract if you can prove they poached your customers. You might be able to put together a fraud case if you can prove the loss.
Lawyer.
Be sure you name names on thefunded.org so this VC can't bamboozle the next victim as easily.

- ohwhataweb 9y agoI would like to believe that I didn't get mugged and someone or something in the list ticked him off. It would have been nice for him to open up a channel of conversation as the list is genuine and we have bootstrapped our startup so far to profits
- throwaway413 9y agoYou’re lying to yourself. You got mugged. You even said it yourself - your customers started receiving emails from his other company! The writing is on the wall. Do you have hard proof of the email your customer received?
- ganeshkrishnan 9y agoProbably. Also remember that if posters space is specific or niche, clients usually look for other software to help them. The emails from the competitors are not a smoking gun proof. There is no way to prove or disprove it and only the investor knows what's up
