The more inflated the language in your startup's pitch, the less convincing it seems. If you're a seed stage company, don't tell me you're transforming global this or poised to dominate that. Tell me you noticed something that might turn out to be an overlooked opportunity.

Thrilled to announce that the California Public Utilities Commission just approved @Cruise for fared operation 24/7 across all of San Francisco!
It’s a huge milestone for the AV industry, but even more importantly a signal to the country that CA prioritizes progress over our tragic status quo.
We share the CPUC’s commitment to delivering safer, cleaner and more accessible transportation options, and remain committed to collaborating closely with regulators to push toward this critical goal.
Let’s Cruise!

“So where did it fall off?”
“Somewhere between Perth and the Pilbera.”

Advice to young VCs. If you manage to survive, this downturn is like a gift. VC industry hasn’t seen a big downturn in 13+ yrs and GFC was nothing like the meltdown of the dotcom bubble. Such oppts don’t come around often. This period may shape you for the rest of your career.
