Healy Jones: Avoid jerks, dolts when looking for VCs

At his Startable blog, Healy Jones lists VC qualities best avoided, including micromanagement and bad breath. Healy suggests performing reverse due diligence:

You’ll want to have an honest, founder-a-founder conversation. Your goal is to make sure that they venture capitalist is someone who you want intimately involved with your company for the next five+ years. Are they trustworthy, do they actively try to help the business, do they listen well, are they approachable and very importantly, are they NOT jerks.
