If you see a spike all at once it almost definitely means your competitor is raising a round right now and they’re either canvassing the space or they missed out on that round and want to learn about you. 1. Never send them a deck. These people treat decks like baseball cards. They will straight up tell you they can’t invest in your company and still ask for a deck. 2. Never be rude to analysts or junior VCs. Word spreads fast and when you actually do want to raise you won’t want Partners to think you’re an a*hole. 3. If you want, take a call, and spend the entire call asking them questions. How they’ve helped other companies. Why are they speaking to you. A junior VC can be a gateway to a great round, or a fishing expedition for your competitor.
