Dear Venture Capitalists, You are smart. You are accomplished. You probably have a better haircut than me. I see you and I respect you (a thread)

Who are some startups raising money in pre-seed or seed? I want to help them

If you are a startup founder and your deck has the word "CONFIDENTIAL" in your first pitch deck you are sharing with investors, you are approaching your fundraise incorrectly.

The whole point is to prove to the investor that you found a problem in a market others haven't solved well enough yet, you know how to monetize and solve it, and that you are the founder with the right background to execute.

I'm working on building AI associates for VC firms and fundraising tools for founders. If you want a free tool to get VC intros, hold your dataroom, or cap table... go make a free account on @ThePitchFire

Hey venture capitalists and investors.. want to give your rejected startup decks you pass on a shot with other VCs? Send me a DM.

So if you are an investor using my product...I would recommend checking out the "deals to watch" section in our Reports tab. VCs get busy with tons of meetings, diligence, travel, etc. This will warn you if something is getting stagnant too long. You can actually use the Pitchfire AI associate to send emails to your old deals following up. All from few quick prompts from the PitchfireAI button. If you are doing investing or thinking about doing investor and to try it out... go make an account.

Anyone else getting meaner to their AI over time ?

Founders... we have VCs who want to see your decks.

If you are a founder and are trying to raise money, but don't know VCs, listen up. I'm going to give you an unethical hack. You can call me out in the replies if you hate it, and we can fight to the death.

Response rates for prospecting advisors are way higher than VCs. Be smart. Go ask your advisors for VC intros, and if they don't, tell them "it's not me..it's you" and break up.
