"Beware of associates". I cannot stress this enough. DO NOT EVER WASTE YOUR TIME MEETING WITH ASSOCIATES IF THERE ARE NO PARTNERS PRESENT. They have no freaking clue. By associates I mostly mean MBA's with no startup founding experience. Infact there are VC partners in India who are more like associates in the US, with absolutely zero founding experience. Stay as far away from them as possible. Do not cold call them and dont take their calls - they are not worth the time and dont know shit.
