I've helped organize the Los Angeles CTO Forum for almost 10 years.

It doesn’t make any sense to pitch a later stage, “growth” investor with your seed stage idea just like it doesn’t make much sense to pitch a new tech startup to an investor who only does oil & gas. You need to get them to fall in love first.
