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:<p>"made sure it all closed quickly, fairly and without incident"<p>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.<p>The techcrunch nut is not too hard to crack and it's not a dealbreaker.<p>I wish all investors had a list like this posted somewhere in their linkedin/blog.
