11 out of 11 people recommended Dustin.
Dustin and Jeff passed on our deal, but they really made an effort to understand our business. They have even made press introductions for us after passing. Would seek out in a next round fo funding. Only feedback is they could have been quicker and more direct with their communication closing the loop on the "no."

Dustin is a real product guy. He makes you push the boundaries on designing product as a way to drive sales and engagement. He's also one of very few investors that lives and breathes SMB.

I've known Dustin for over a year now and have met with him multiple times to chat about my company. He's an incredibly humble and talented guy with operational experience that makes him stand out from most who otherwise just throw boilerplate advice. He took the time to get to know us, his advice was direct and relevant to tackling the real challenges we face today as a startup. I would recommend working with Dustin

Despite not investing, Dustin asked some great questions about my startup that I hadn't previously thought too much about. For that alone I'd recommend taking an intro to him. He was also just a very humble and down to earth guy. He did, however, miss our first scheduled time to talk but he was gracious about it. Other than that, he's the type of guy you wish all investors were like.

Dustin was thoroughly engaging with our company and provided a lot of time and energy into thinking about the next steps in our model. He invested far more time - both online and in person - to helping us achieve the next step in the process we were engaged with him with. Not to mention he's also a really nice guy!
