Really like this response and totally agree with @michaelmiraflor. A lot of my career has been built on a cold call/email - much of my first fund Sandbox Studios was. I also now pay it forward and will take a coffee with almost anyone because of it.

[Michael J. Miraflor @michaelmiraflor]

This is really off-putting and involves a lot of opportunity cost, given that junior/mid-tier VCs are looking to network over the long term, as should you. Some of them will one day be GPs, and people have long memories.

If you don’t want to take a meeting that you don’t think will be valuable to either party, a form response is fine. No harm, no foul. But saying “VCs don’t contact me” broadcasts a negative signal - and for what?
