What is more striking is that this VC felt it necessary to take to LinkedIn to "educate" others on his reasoning. For what purpose? So that people will remove dates from their slide decks now? Because that is the likely outcome.

The only investors who have enough time for such things generally aren't the ones closing the best deals. What does it say about him that he is desperate enough for a deal that he has to open cold emails and then take to LinkedIn to criticize a date that is two months old? If you notice he didn't say anything about the content of the actual information being outdated. Just the date.

His biggest gift to this company was not investing in them.



He felt "triggered" that he wasn't the first call, which comes off as petty and entitled, which most VCs are.
