When I was an entrepreneur, I realized there are three kinds of VCs. My favorites are those who are quick and write out checks. My second-favorite are those who are quick to say no. Then there’s a third category of VCs, who offer drawn-out maybes. I knew I never wanted to be that kind of investor. Even if entrepreneurs don’t like your answer, they need you to be straightforward.

-Josh Kopelman from his interview with Connie Loizos

The best part about Josh is that not only does he say shit like this but his actions back it up.  I can say first hand that Josh puts the entrepreneur first.  When I had a somewhat messy deal on my hands, Josh made every effort from a human level to make sure that I personally was OK.
