Can't wait to discuss! @dunkhippo33 @HustleFundVC
There have been an awful lot of "it's hard out here for a VC" posts recently. And yes, it IS hard to for emerging fund managers to raise right now.
But great fund managers are still getting funded. So what makes them stand out?
Let’s talk about it. 👇 @Monsson_

Most people under-index on enthusiasm for what they're working on. If you aren't excited about it, who is? 🤔

For new venture managers, reminder that you are building a company, not just investing.
Shareholders = LP's
Capital/Value Add proposition = Product (should be tangible)
Customers = Portfolio companies/co-investors

Brand and vision are at the centre of everything.
Just rolled into #ssts18 - can't wait to see what they roll out this year! @siliconslopes
