Does that mean that seed stage companies should not bother contacting you unless they can get a warm intro?
- troydavis 10y agoWhether stated or not, this is basically true of all professional VCs. That doesn't mean it's right or wrong, only that if you want to get funded, figure out a way to get an introfiction. It's far from impossible, even starting from nothing, and it's much easier than 10 years ago when far fewer VCs wrote/tweeted/commented in public.
- garry 10y agoBy late stage for us, I was thinking that you still also have YC for the earliest stage and it's still the best way in the world to "cold pitch" someone but still have a chance to get funded and identified with no existing connections. It worked that way for me, anyway.
