When John Ousterhout and I started Electric Cloud we raised a $7m series A on the back of a PowerPoint presentation and some half written code in less than two months.
We were highly organized about how we approached VCs and we had prepared well before the first meeting, but ultimately it came down to one partner at USVP clicking with the idea and running with it. They called us back for a second meeting and gave us a term sheet.
