My last job was at a struggling Lightbank-funded company. I didn't have much interaction with the VCs but did get to meet with Brad and Paul Lee briefly. Like any VC worth much, these guys have their niche: sales. They have that part figured out. The challenge for them would be adding value in non-Chicago companies. As I understand that their companies in Chicago are able to tap in vast resources. A company based in NYC, like the one I worked for, overall seemed to have more of a struggle. Ultimately they company I worked for decided to close their NYC office and move to Chicago which I think was a good idea.
