Serious question: are you implicitly advocating the VC community not say tough things, even if they’re true? Or are you earnestly asking VCs to publicly offer constructive criticism of their own cos
All I wish for every VC who diligently pre-mortems companies outside their portfolio (Casper being latest) is that they tweet as eloquently about what went wrong on companies in their portfolio, since they’re very interested in contributing to the public sphere.

we should have thoughtful conversations as an industry abt business models - even when they're critical. But when people are quick to critique companies they're not invested in, & silent abt their own learnings/investments, I wonder abt their motivations.

Agree, but think there’s a diff btwn pre-mortem teardowns & fostering conversation around a specific point that can benefit related co’s (Also, haven’t been in the vc game for long enough, but try to bring lessons from operating failure(s) - even more valuable front row seat :))

sure, & then use examples from your portfolio. Or public co. Otherwise it's performative. & if it's "confidential" or "the founder's story to tell" (as to why you don't talk openly about stuff you work on), then maybe consider you don't know full story on someone else's shit
