Many of these DMPs (data management platforms) are owned by data brokers. (Side note: The FTC's 2014 report on data brokers is shocking. See ftc.gov/reports/data-b…) There is no functional difference between an #adtech DMP and Cambridge Analytica. 7/12

I will write a blog post about this, but TL;DR - it is NOT reasonable to take 7 meetings with a startup and then pass for a reason that would be obvious in the first or second meeting. Investors need to be more respectful of founders time and also give actual reason for a pass.
