They're price sensitive and are quite open about it - I don't see why it would create resentment?

If they are approaching you and are trying to negotiate a lower price while other investors are on board on a higher valuation (I saw this happens quite a lot), I think that would be the kind of behavior that would create resentment both on the other investors and founders side.

However I haven't experienced it and my experience was that they turned me down because my valuation was too high for them and out of their comfort zone - did they try to negotiate me to a lower valuation? No.
