This seems like a great idea for first-time founders who want to raise fundings depending on the nature of investors and their previous experience with other founders. But on what basis do you review the investors? There are not any platform or review systems out yet who have reviewed investors like reviews for companies on Glassdoor. This might be a cool idea.

@rafyasarmatta thank you! All the reviews come from founders who have submitted them on KnowYourVC.com πŸ˜„ and review is internally verified for credibility before it is published.

Hey Product Hunt Community! πŸ‘‹ The Know Your VC team hosted a hackathon over the weekend and built "Investor Intel," a chrome extension that helps founders do better research on Angels/VCs all over the web. When you're searching on a site like TechCrunch, Google or LinkedIn our extension will use natural language processing to highlight the names of investors and instantly show you verified reviews/ratings! We have even color-coded the highlights so that: πŸ”΄= stay away from this investor 😟 βœ…= highly recommended by founders πŸ‘ πŸ”·= no ratings yet, be the first to review! 😊 We definitely have a lot we want to improve but we would love for you to check that and hear your feedback!

@anthonyjz17 Love the idea! I still can't see a lot of VCs and Angels based outside of Silicon Valley (e.g. Europe, Africa, Middle East, Asia). Hopefully as you guys get more traction outside of Silicon Valley, this will be resolved!

@alyssa_maharani thank you! We definitely want to get founders from all around the world to share and contribute reviews and it's definitely a big goal of ours to expand our content from being so SV/NY centered.
