Monday I sent out 12 emails to VCs I know well on behalf of founders who want to connect with them. Two responded, took them 4 days. But sure, the summer slow down is not a thing…
.@Itamar_Novick and I had a great conversation on @InvestNStartups. We talked about: 🧠 AI's impact and valuations ❌ Why most VCs do NOT add value 👑 Why execution is king (but ideas still matter too) I really enjoyed this one and hope you do as well!
