You shouldn't need to google how to meet with a specific person ahead of time. But you should have an idea of how to meet with someone whose days are packed -- how to be courteous and respectful without taking a lot of time. Whether you're meeting with a VC, potential business partner, potential employee, or a client...
Don't be like http://www.drivecomic.com/archive/141219.html http://www.drivecomic.com/archive/141219.html . Everybody's time is more valuable than that. Have an agenda, and a plan to discuss that agenda at a reasonable pace.
- AndrewKemendo 12y ago100% agree, everyone on each side should be respectful and understand how to interact. If the people that they are interacting with genuinely don't know how to do that because they are so amateur, then help them along - be a mentor. If these VC and Angels really want to be taken as stalwart leaders and mentors they claim to be, they should be taking the time to help the people that they are investing time/money into learn how to interact in the fast paced/high stress world. If they want to act like asses then they can be treated like the rest of the finance world as the money hungry nihilists that they are. I doubt most/all of that applies to Brad individually, but I have run into waay too many Angels and VCs who think they are demi-gods that have no time for people and then claim all day how they are the role models for tech startups, moral lighthouses etc...
