VCs: What is your immediate gut reaction when you see posts like this? Meme posts making fun of VCs show up in my feed every day. Whenever I see one, I go to the comments to see if any VCs have responded, but they almost never do. Is that because you think these posts refer to other VCs but not you? Do you take them personally or laugh them off? It's interesting that I never see VCs posting memes about delusional founders (also, let's be honest, great subjects for parody)--probably because doing so could make it harder to get into deals, but I'm just guessing. Anyone want to weigh in on this? https://lnkd.in/gNNDEUTj

The absolute #1 method to create HYPE with investors 🔥🔥🔥 👀 After working 1-1 with SO MANY Founders from early-stage to Series B. There's ONE common trait which creates the biggest excitement amongst investors... And that is... There's already big names joining the round / have previously invested ✅ This immediately creates Credibility, FOMO (fear of missing out), and that there's Movement in the Round (whereas most opportunities are stagnated for a while)!!!! The best strategy is to hustle quickly to get strong investor names associated with you (VC and highly credible Angels), and then leverage that to get lots of other investors interested 🚀 .... We get Founders back-to-back VC deal-flow, Pre-Seed to Series B https://www.easyintro.vc/
