Every so often, I’ll meet with a founding team and they will tell me that they met with a “Partner” at a VC firm. If I wasn’t riffing off of an inside joke that’s funny to me, I’d boringly call this post “Understanding the use of the Partner title in the VC industry.”

This should not be confused with raising too much money as many companies did in 2006-08. But imagine a VC that did 12 deals per year in 2006, 2007 & 2008. So if you’re in year 8 of a 10-year fund and fund raising hasn’t gone so well, it’s no surprise that some partners will leave. So we have almost no triage problem.
