What do you like best?
TheFunded seems to be a good place to get information about VC and startups. Because they curate their members carefully, most people on there seem to know what it is they're talking about.
What do you dislike?
I dislike quite a few things. The site itself is really ugly and unintuitive. Also, the sign-up process seems kind of silly, too. According to the sign up page, you have to be a CEO, founder, lawyer, service provider, or limited partner (as verified by your LinkedIn information) in order to join. Why not have a way where you can sign up and read about VC without actually being in VC?
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you can join, good for you. If you are intimidated by the sign-up restrictions, try looking for a local forum or other site where you can start a VC thread. Even LinkedIn is probably a fine option. Also, if you live in the Midwest, BuiltInChicago.org is a great place to start.
