That sounds reasonable, but I'm curious if you have data on satisfaction as reported by the founders? As your reputation grows, you may be getting better results partially through having higher quality startups, which would cloud the issue.
- pg 15y agoThe last couple batches I've started asking each batch at the last dinner what we need to improve. As of last batch there were no major gripes about not getting enough attention from us.
- amirmc 15y agoI'm curious. What are the major gripes?
- pg 15y agoThe biggest were about Preview Day, where we introduce the startups early to a few top investors. We did it too late in the cycle, didn't give startups long enough to present, and some of the investors were lame. We're not sure if we'll even keep doing it. There were also complaints about the food. It's getting better but it's still not that great. It's getting crowded in the room after Demo Day. That will be partly alleviated by a 2x bigger room this summer, and we'll also probably write some software to let investors register their interest in a startup instead of assuming they'll connect afterward. Some of the speakers were boring. There are always a few.
- earbitscom 15y agoWhen the food served every Tuesday is the biggest complaint, I think you're running a pretty tight ship. There was no shortage of attention for those who needed it.
