🪙 There's a double-sided nature of poor outreach.
Yes, founders are ultimately responsible for how they reach out.
But... investors are responsible too.
🔖 Poor Investor information
🟰
📤 Poor founder outreach
🟰
😭 Poor VC inbox
ℹ Buyer (investor) information is laid out poorly.
🤔This means it's difficult to know (for a founder) how to approach a sale (of equity).
🛒 Leading to fewer sellers (startups) making a good effort.
👍Many VCs take well-researched founders as the sign of a good seller.
🔬 I'd agree. A founder that does their research is generally more backable...
⏳ BUT... It's not exactly easy for all to do this in timescales that make sense vs. other business priorities.
🚫 I'd bet that based on their own website, 99% of VCs would avoid investing in themselves.
👟 I'd also bet they'd spot a distribution model that is ripe for disruption.
Why?
💸 Because VC websites don't help market their capital effectively and mainly rely on one distribution channel only....
🤝 their network and the networks of others close to them.
