Yes, very difficult. Startups yes but also many nonprofits and small businesses.

@toddvernon @alexiskold Exactly. It’s important for founders to understand are also qualifying them… same as in sales. No point in building rapport if you aren’t a fit.

Founders, what is the most insightful question you asked a VC in the first meeting that really actually helped you get useful information about them or the process ?

Talking to astronauts on the @Space_Station! Beyond cool!

@MassChallenge partner @Space_Station talking about commercialization in space at #CES2023. Did you know PG does research in ISSNL?!

Who's hiring for community right now? I curated group of 30 experienced community builders who are actively or passively looking for their next gig. I'd love to get them connected with companies who are legitimately investing in community. Comment or DM me!

@cirving @hodges Ditto! These tips are awesome. Also have small oven constraint….

@hodges Same! Here for the tips 👀

I’m hosting my first big family Thanksgiving this year. Send me your tips!

@epaley @epaley such important and actionable advice for founders. How do you recommend founders keep relationship warm in “first 5” if response is cool?

If you're unsure about how well the VC market will respond to your progress, pitch 5ish firms to get a feel. If the response is cool, take time to address weaknesses and revisit in a few months – don't keep pitching. Don't burn good VC leads who won't reconsider later.
