What are some irl examples of a VC “fighting for you”? Why is it better to have 1 VC “fighting for you” rather than focusing on a large community that could “fight for you”? The most successful projects in the space have large communities that “fight for them.”

Makes sense - just wondering what that "fight" from a VC looks like in action. That makes it worth the risks that we've seen with PR like on this sushi proposal, others. I'm sure it exists but I feel like we often just hear these kinda generalized terms "fight for you", etc

100% agree and lots of VCs say this and don't really mean anything I think a lot of this is giving intros, giving advice if necessary or requested, helping accomplish specific tasks you have using their resources, etc.

Sam I remember you had a great thread on the right vc, there were 4 types. I can’t find it but would be a great reminder.

1) I've only been in crypto for 3 years, and out of college for 6, so feel free to ignore this "built up wisdom". But I think it's hard to think well about the role VCs play. I know I've fucked it up before! So here are my war stories and takeaways.
