I really can't say enough great things about Bill. He's soft-spoken but don't let it fool you - he's smart money. Bill has great advice on product, marketing, hiring, financing, and everything in between. Ignore him at your peril.

Bill is an excellent mentor - he puts much more than his money into the startups he invests in. He has thoughtful advice on market, technology stack, and everything in between. Most importantly, he always answers the phone when you need help in a hurry.

Bill has been very generous in helping me think through the problems facing my early-stage startup and connecting me to other folks in his network.
