"IMO the best time to raise is at the beginning of the new year but the true and best advice is you should start your raise whenever you need the money (or are X months out from needing the money ideally). Deals get done year round Ive personally closed deals on vacation and fought for deals I ended up losing on vacation. But some VCs youll just never hear from over the summer or during the winter holidays #venturecapital #startupfounder #fundraising"

"This was also something I got asked in a DM - its usually pretty straightforward to raise the rest of a round. Not always but most VCs have networks of people that like to do deals together and once theyll issue a term sheet the rest falls into line quickly. If it doesnt that also means you may not have found a great lead #venturecapital #startupfounder #fundraising"

"Replying to @hello_world_789 making this video because growth equity is also often conflated with VC. Growth equity is far closer to LBO/traditional private equity investing than early stage venture capital many more spreadsheets excel models etc. also a different underwriting profile as usually its a shorter timeline to exit but capped initial upside unless youre holding. Thats why its laughable to call someone like Tiger global a VC firm because they tried to go before series B a few years ago and got destroyed on returns. You cant model a series a in a spreadsheet much more intangible of"

Yes there will be bad actors in every version of this world. No trying to stop change will not help that. If you dont learn how to use artificial intelligence if you dont learn how these models work and why they work you will be left behind.
