#echai#ssdel125 While there are certain general rules of VC business, please note that: 1. Funding is a very subjective decision, taken in absence of a lot of data 2. That the investors also have a fiduciary duty to return capital, so we are forced to control our 'kind' side https://t.co/qwNuDTE4D5
1/ Dos: 1. Be crisp and clear. If it's your first pitch, complete it within 5 minutes 2. Demonstrate a deep understanding of the problem and users (teach them something about your customers that they don't know) 3. Get them excited about you and your business. Knowledge + Enthu
2/ ... Knowledge and enthusiasm help 4. Pitch to a few mentors first. Plug the holes 5. Have a deep understanding about your competition and market 6. Being able to draw a parallel with a companies doing well in other markets helps #SSDel125
3/ Dont's 1. Don't give long answers 2. Don't go without knowing your competition inside out and being able to counter questions around your secret sauce 3. Don't be low on energy 4. Don't go without doing a YC Interview kinda preparation https://t.co/SYnQV0BGza#SSDel125
