Our team just convened a group of 70+ full time #venturecapital investors + a panel of long time VCs and LPs. 3 Takeaways: 🤗 If you're a junior investor looking to change firms in this market ... you're not alone. A lot of folks are loose in the saddle. Be proactive, including in how you represent your brand to the market. 🔁 We've seen this story before during the 08/09 VC dip... fortunately, this time it's not nearly as bad. 3️⃣ kinds of VCs ... which one do you want to be? 1) Spend most of their time with VCs 2) Spend most of their time with LPs 3) Spend most of their time with founders. (Guess which ones perform the best?) Thanks to our amazing panelists 👇🏻 Philip Kim (Capital One Ventures) Danielle Lay (NEA) Nihal Mehta (Eniac Ventures) Charlie O'Donnell (Brooklyn Bridge Ventures) To our incredible host (Cooley LLP) and sponsors (Fidelity Shoobx and Intercom) ... and to Conner Roach of Clik for the snaps that you see below! 📆 Want to learn about our multi-day VC event that's right around the corner?
