    I used to think being in a place where you were turning down VCs all the time would be fun. it's not actually fun.

        There are really good earnest people you want to work with, but sometimes it doesn't make sense at the time. Saying no to that isn't enjoyable.

        Don't get me wrong, it's a hell of a lot better than trying to raise and being turned down

        I'd love to see more data on how many customers your GPs have directly introduced to your portfolio companies. Keep up the great work! Let's get coffee on the books for Q2 next year

        I'm just not seeing the money-to-product fit right now, but if you're fund falls into our thesis at some point I'll reach out

        Why not? Don't like the conflict? Or are you actually tempted by it and it's taking up cycles?

        Is it because they make terrible offers and aren't humble about it at all? "We'll give you $5m for 25% of your obvious $B startup... And now we make the rules too."
