TheFunded Releases List of Blacklisted VC Companies

TheFunded.com allows entrepreneurs to express their opinions and views of venture capitalists and venture capital companies.  TheFunded recently unleashed a list of venture capital firms that were banned from the leaderboards.

The top 13 suspiscious reviews were
1. Alsop Louie Partners,
2. Bay Partners,
3. Benchmark Capital,
4. Clearstore Venture Partners,
5. DFJ Mercury,
6. Flybridge Capital Partners,
7. GrandBanks Capital,
8. Greenhill SAVP,
9. Kleiner, Perkins, Caufield & Byers,
10. Milestone Venture Partners,
11. Partech International,
12. US Venture Partners (USVP),
13. VantagePoint Venture Partners

Adeo Ressi, founder of TheFunded said that the reasons for VCs to be added to the list is because of threatening TheFunded, pressuring CEOs to write positive reviews about their VC companies, and failing to make newer investments.

Companies on TheFunded’s blacklist will remain in the database but will be flagged.  Firsts that are on the list for not investing recently can submit proof of investment within the last 4 weeks.
