Comment on How Do Venture Capitalists Make Decisions?parent

Comments

As of 8 hours later I did not receive your mail. If the email in your profile is not correct you can mail me at mine.

I am scientific and made a strong claim above: if you have a plurality of counterexamples I would like to update my comment stating I was wrong.

So far I have just a statement from you that you know of counterexamples. I do not.

Thank you.

Update: I received an example via email that included approximately 40 investors passing and not being interested, until the seed round began to be put together at which point it snowballed. I would say this strengthens my conviction that the levers listed in the article are not how VC's make their decisions: because those listed levers did not change to cause the change in investor decision.
