Really? I had never come across that myself. Are there any stories you can relay yourself or links? Very interesting.

- gyardley 16y agoProbably not in public, no. The next time you get called by a junior analyst at a time when you're not raising and haven't gotten any tech press, it's likely because someone else is raising -- ringing up competitors is a pretty standard part of due diligence. You can sometimes figure out who's out raising just by asking your own investors -- they tend to know what's going on at other firms. Not everyone is sweetness and light in this situation. Really, blocking a competitor from raising is the only reason why you should take the call.
