Comment on Ask HN: Meeting with VCs tomorrow, what tips should I know?

Comments

Ask for a definite yes or no. Many VCs will say "maybe" when they really mean no. Don't waste your time chasing maybes except perhaps to put them on an email list that you send investor updates to.

I've never heard an actual "no". No VC wants to be known as the guy who turned down Google (eg.)

This is true. Usually they will say "I'm interested" which means you can move to the next stage or "I think it's interesting" which probably means "no."
