“There is a lot of talk about “value add” from VCs but often that is just for show during the process of winning the deal. The number of VCs who actually add a lot of value to their investments is much smaller than you would think.” 
— Fred Wilson (GP, Union Square Ventures)

If you looking for a fund manager to hear pitches, network for deals negotiate. They assess founders. They build market hypotheses. Yes, they get business updates and sit on boards and give advice but they do it at a very high level, identifying patterns and encouraging into or around them.

If you are looking for a team that will invest in you and also grid with you, talk to us. In my operating career, I loved the grind it out, down and dirty business problems new and growing companies face every day. Pricing. Positioning. Hiring. Firing. Org structure. Culture. Crisis management. Persuading customers and employees. Selling. Offer creation. Partnership building. Investors do not do this work. If you love it, you will hate investing.
