Not all VCs have the same investment thesis.

Alignment and mutual fit is important.

Being undiscovered and being found by a process is partially a positioning piece too.

VCs want a transaction in a short number of years depending how far they are into their current fund.

It’s not always about any one idea, but rather what idea can be the winner to make up for the others that didn’t win big.

Also, knowing the difference between investors and VCs is important - investors tend to often give more personalized support than VCs.

If you’re ready to go big and be supported to do so, VCs can be just what’s needed.

Increasingly, VCs are a feeder system to private equity and you may be able to position yourself for that long term.
