I heard the short deadline advice also, it’s nice idea but has flaws: - most VCs will have at least a few days delay on when they are willing to meet you - intros are required, and often intros come out of other VC meetings. This means you can’t shotgun everything - if a VC wants to meet after your “deadline”, will you actually say no? Who has more power? If you are a hot deal or Michael Seibel himself, the short deadline probably works. For mid level startups it’s not as easy.
