Great thread - VC is indeed tiny (about 0.5% of US GDP), but VC-backed companies punch well above this weight: about 1/3 of total employment; nearly 2/3 of US market capitalization and about 85% of total R&D spend.

A founder asked me why I didnt bring our founding partner to our coffee, then later asked for an intro to a partner at a firm we're close w/, as she was bummed to only be meeting with an associate. Non-partners have a say & greatly impact decisions. Dont underestimate others.

.@EniacVC's deal process: f2f/zoom w/partner, discussed at Mon mtg. If peeps excited then 2nd partner meets unless open Qs that 1st needs to address. Repeat above until all 4 partners meet while doing DD and building memo, any partner can veto. Formal vote >= 12 (1-4/p). Simple! – at San Francisco, CA

Freestyle deal process. 30 min exploratory call with partner. Meet/Skype with 2nd partner. Both partners fill out CEO scorecard. Primary partner fills out deal memo. All 3 partners approve unanimously. simple right? 🤣

As much as VCs love to talk about diversity, there's more to it than just the surface level. We don't talk enough about socio economic and cultural diversity and access to opportunity. If you didn't go to top schools, you don't have the same chances.Period techcrunch.com/2018/08/25/th…

I’ll never forget some of the terrible behavior I experienced in 100+ times pitching VC's. Eating 3 course meal during pitch, taking pitch call while driving convertible, spending over half pitch on phone. Drives one of my primary rules for being a VC, don’t be a fucking asshole!
