How much effort do you need to put into fundraising? 🤔 🤓 Let's go the other way around. Typically VCs invest in less than 2% of all startups that they have a meeting with. (They get tons more pitch decks that they don't call to the meeting). Statistically, that means that every 100th startup they speak with get's an investment. 🔢 If you invert that - that means you have to send your pitch deck to at least 250-300 VCs in order to get 100 meetings, and that 1 good investment. 📍 Where do you find that many VCs?
