Some people will give a shit, some won't. I've met VCs that would scoff at Jason for trivial stuff like that, while I've met others that would agree with him - and maybe be even rigid about "small stuff". My experience is that if the VC is someone who has background from finance, consulting, or law, then they are more likely to lose their minds over superficial stuff like logo placement, font consistency, alignment of images / tables / etc., and of course consistency in dates etc. - probably because that's all they did during their formative years in their respective industries. Second point: There's a bunch of VCs out there with the only qualification of A) Having founded / led a successful startup B) Having invested in startups during the ZIRP-era So while you have some tremendously good VCs that have stood the test of time, and have "seen it all", there are also VCs that will be washed away the next few years. So don't take it personally if / when some VC will decline you and and be all preachy about it. Last point: Some of these stories are just made-up BS to generate content and thoughts. Half of the stuff VCs write on LinkedIn or Twitter seems to be fiction, for the sake of getting a point through to their listeners. Also keep that in mind.
