Extremely useful piece. I love how this article walks the reader step by step on how to approach a meeting with a VC. From pre-meeting preparation to post-meeting actions and everything in between. Very useful guide.
Great post, especially appreciated the ‘Why now / Why you’ framing, which touches on something I find crucial but often overlooked: the Unique Insight.
I recently published a long-form piece on that very topic, with real-world examples and a simple framework founders can use. Might be a useful complement to your write-up.
Really appreciated this breakdown. I’ve been thinking of some ideas lately around how teams get evaluated. Might turn it into a post myself. Would love your take: where do you personally rank the importance of the team story in all this? You touched on it briefly, but I wonder, do you see team dynamics, background and chemistry as the top signal VCs are listening for in that first conversation? Or does it sit behind things like traction, market size, product?
