It's funny. I read this and thought about a meeting with a VC a friend of mine had where the VC Partner was on his phone the whole time. My friend suddenly stopped talking and sat there for a good minute before the VC realized he had stopped. When he asked why he stopped, my friend said that he took the meeting to get his full attention. After a while the VC did it again. My friend closed his laptop and walked out of the building without saying a word. Weeks later they closed their seed round without that firm and now they're growing like crazy. I'm sure that VC Partner is kicking himself for being so inconsiderate.
- jacquesm 11y agoThat's super rude and your friend is incredibly patient for even giving the guy another chance. I'd have walked out on the first time.
