This is great. Very honest and straightforward. The points were he can add a lot of value, are very strong, and the points where he can't, are ok, because the ability to help you close a seed round: "made sure it all closed quickly, fairly and without incident" Once you can get someone to literally be a leader on the round (there's plenty of me-too investors, that rarely take the plunge first) everything should pretty much fall into place. The techcrunch nut is not too hard to crack and it's not a dealbreaker. I wish all investors had a list like this posted somewhere in their linkedin/blog.

"I wish all investors had a list like this posted somewhere in their linkedin/blog." Agreed. I think it could also be interesting to have a platform where the founders rate each angel/VC on a 1-5 scale on 20 or so categories: technical knowledge, introductions to additional funding sources, access to lawyers, PR experience, management expertise, etc. This type of feedback happens to some extent on sites like The Funded, but it's not broken down as accurately as it should be.
