Top 1%. We met at a time they didn't have the capital to invest but despite that, they made intros that led to our current Seed lead. They remain very helpful. Hope they close the fund – they are someone I would enjoy having onboard for our A.

I met Hannah when we were just at idea stage, and she heard LSE and founder and approached us. Ever since, the entire Houghton St. team has been incredible. Adam helped refer me to a VC who led our Preseed, and he even helped me review the term sheet for guidance on how to discuss it with them. Hannah has been the ultimate connector, making intros to potential collaborators, suggesting funds and ideas.

I have not engaged with them directly for investment however I have worked with them for help with sourcing clients and industry contacts for apiday. Overall I have found them to be incredibly helpful despite having no financial interest in my company. Their events have allowed me to connect with other LSE Alumni Entrepreneurs and VCs. The ecosystem they have created is one that is both friendly and informative.

Really dismissive and rude - made me feel that the only reason they even talked to me was because I was a woman of color to improve some deal flow stat they wanted to share.

I've worked with Charles Hudson over two startups over 6 years (the first one failed). I've raised from and interacted with hundreds of VCs over that time period. No one - and I mean no one - comes close to being as supportive as Precursor.
