VCs: “We are investing in early-stage pre-seed/seed startups” “We want to be the first check investor” Same VCs: “We want to see more validation for market demand. Please get back to us when you have 30000000+ users and $50000000+ in volume” “Who else do you have on board?” -- This may or may not be an accurate representation of a typical founder-early-stage VC interaction 😂 Over the last 2 years, me and my founder frens have spoken with many VCs. Of course, there are different reasons and unique circumstances why an investor would skip the deal. However, this is how many early-stage funds look like from founder's perspective :) Thoughts? :) 👇
