I believe this fund is highly aligned with commercial open source software companies that want to solve real problems instead of chasing hype.
Very happy to see an update from them. After a year of radio silence I was beginning to imagine the worst, and I didn’t feel confident referring founders to them.
- x0x0 3y agoyou probably shouldn't refer founders An acquaintance (serious person, real company, great career, etc) just got completely ignored by Calm. Like didn't even respond to the submission. Dunno what they're doing, but it ain't being serious.
- EchoChamberMan 3y agoDoes that logic apply to companies who give workers applying for jobs no response?
- LikeAnElephant 3y agoSorry for your friend, but this is what you call anecdotal evidence.
- AlchemistCamp 3y agoThe post speaks of a bottleneck. When a post goes viral and a flood of applications comes in, the number of Tylers remains at one. The queue just gets unmanageably long. It's definitely not ideal, but your acquaintance shouldn't take it personally.
- Atotalnoob 3y agoThat doesn’t mean you should ignore the applicants. Provide a queue, say “we are working on it”, etc.
- x0x0 3y agoYC manages 1000x the volume and manages to respond. It's a lack of professionalism or a lack of competence, pick your poison.
- yumraj 3y agoThat’s how investors work, nothing new. Ghosting can happen at any stage, even after what may feel like a good pitch. On the other hand if they actually get back and provide feedback, in case of a no, make a note of that investor as they are probably one of the nicer one.
