Slide text: How VCs Say "No" - <strike>"No"</strike> - They don't return your calls or emails - "We love what you're doing but would like to see more progress" - "We'd like to see what your beta looks like" - "Have you thought about hiring a _____" - "Have you thought about approaching _____" - "We're interested, but we don't want to lead."
