Dear Venture Capitalists,

As a founder, when I was raising money... there was one thing that drove me nuts when reaching out to VCs....

And it was filling out their long, tedious, repetitive forms.

[Ryan O'Hara @Ryohara]

It almost reminds me of these big companies that ask for resumes when you apply for a job, then ask you to copy and paste it all again into stupid little boxes.

So we built something that gives VCs most of the answers you need to decide if you should meet with a founder or not.

[Ryan O'Hara @Ryohara]

Startup pitches can suck when founders put too much shit on a deck. Especially if it's for presentations.

[Ryan O'Hara @Ryohara]

@girdley @ClintFiore @raechellambert yeah it didn't work for a few reasons. People were worried about getting in trouble with their work for using it.

[Ryan O'Hara @Ryohara]

Do I have a heart?

VCs should be using AI to screen every deal and score it against their thesis.

Sure a human can look at it, but you can't be mean to a human =).

[Ryan O'Hara @Ryohara]

I know a lot of people these days feel awkward talking to strangers.

Whether you are prospecting, hitting up VCs to raise money, or just seeing someone IRL, the easiest way to talk with someone is to just ask open ended questions.

Practice talking to this potato
