I completed 2 years in VC last month. I’ve led a few deals, seen some uprounds, and navigated crises. I’ve also lost a bunch of deals. Here’s what I learned, written as notes to myself, some where I did a 180 on what I thought before I started:

This is rule #2 of fundraising actually: consistent regular quality investor updates

@HarryStebbings3 Feb 2023
If you write consistent, high-quality monthly updates to your investors. I guarantee you that when times are not good and you need that bridge round, you are 50%+ more likely to retain their support if you wrote those updates. Day one or One Day! 🔥

If you're leaving a corporate career to work at a startup, remember that one of the most important ingredients you'll need to succeed there is belief! Setbacks are inevitable and way too many people interrupt compounding by not having enough belief (1/2)
