Help me out here please. One would think that any VC's absolute core, essential, vital skill would be "read between the lines", "see through", "smell the stuff"? So they can pick the best investments regardless of the pitch. Like having a sixth sense. If you can't do that, what good are you investing? But no. Sometimes I feel that even YC is become pitching contest, not startup contest. Countless on stories here on how to act, say things, what to wear, what to do etc. Is it really come to that, that even PG picks best pitches, not best idea/teams. If yes, why do you bother to apply? If no, why do you bother to polish the pitches? I have hired lot of people to work for my small businesses througt the years. I have always read between the CV lines, thrashed the "best" ones and picked "worst" ones, they all turned out great workers. So? |
