What is the entry rout when it comes to getting a meeting to pitch to top firms - from what you've seen?
it's crazy how much value you can bring to an early stage company by just getting them to pitch better investors. there's no reason every early stage founder shouldn't be pitching sequoia/benchmark/etc rather than shitty local firms. Top firms are 10x easier to work with as well

The reason is usually connections, much easier to pitch to them if you know someone who can fwd a warm email. Most founders don't know anyone in the VC world outside of social media, and it significantly impacts their chances.

I can totally see this. It’s getting in front of the big firms which is difficult. You have to climb a ladder if you aren’t already connected into the larger firms.
