If you want VC investment, you must be VC investable. Investors reject founders because they don't believe in the opportunity. Instead of focusing on your pitch, focus on what you can do to prove that opportunity. A good pitch is table stakes.

Investment returns can be thought of through entry and exit points: What valuation do we enter at, and what valuation do we exit at? In early-stage investing as a venture fund, we need our winners to be really big (100x multiple or even more). This is because there are a lot of losses at the early stage, and even companies that end up “doing well” may not provide you with an amazing outcome. (Approximate) Target rate of return at each investment stage: - Pre-Seed, Seed, and Series A: 100x+ - Series B: 10x - Growth: 3x

🤔I used to think VC’s required founders to show traction before investing. Not true. “Ambition alignment” is this most important factor. Is the founder’s dream and plan ambitious enough? If not, it’s a hard “no”. If “yes”, does the VC believe the founder and team have what it takes to accomplish it? If “yes” to both of these, the founder is a candidate for VC investment. Founders need to understand the economics of a VC fund…these funds need a few massive wins, not a bunch of little wins. Demonstrating traction is great and certainly helps, but it’s no a pre-requisite for VC investment.
