I wrapped up the closings on a few deals I had in progress—which I’m super glad I did, because those companies are now doing terrifically well. One just got a seed term sheet for twice the valuation I put in at in the pre-seed and the other is doing $200k/month in revenue.

You never got around to agreeing exact equity splits but you had many conversations about it. I find that one of my best sources of deal flow is from lawyers. Focus on the partner you would be working with. One issue he talked about was working with partners. I also like to work with partners.

Partnering with an investor and/or board member is very long term commitment, and I’m always surprised by how little diligence founders do prior to signing up for what could be a 10+ year collaboration. I’d also recommend that your diligence be tuned to the tenure and profile of the particular partner. Are they prepared?

VCs are triaging their own incoming deal flow, traveling, or are booked up on their calendar for the next couple weeks. Peace of mind in that an entrepreneur shouldn’t worry early-on that a term sheet isn’t forthcoming after one conversation.

But, most of use raise capital and source deals the same way people looked for dates 20 years ago: by networking at conferences (or bars). . But in business, you want a lot of partners. In the private equity universe, most Partners have primary training as deal-makers, not as managers. I said we had a lot of deal flow.

The responses I got came at a time when I've been having a lot of conversations with female founders as well about their fundraising experiences. Vetting deal flow is part of the job. I don't want to outsource my deal vetting to people who don't do what I do for a living. Look, I get it.
