Comment on Kima Ventures Will Allow Startups to Raise $150K Within 15 Days Via AngelListparent

Comments

I've heard mostly negative things about Kima.

There's Jeremie's public negative statements about a company they invested in (Sparrow): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4277331.

They're also very price sensitive, which can create resentment even in companies that take their money.

They're price sensitive and are quite open about it - I don't see why it would create resentment?

If they are approaching you and are trying to negotiate a lower price while other investors are on board on a higher valuation (I saw this happens quite a lot), I think that would be the kind of behavior that would create resentment both on the other investors and founders side.

However I haven't experienced it and my experience was that they turned me down because my valuation was too high for them and out of their comfort zone - did they try to negotiate me to a lower valuation? No.
