The Twenty Minute VC (20VC): Venture Capital | Startup Funding | The Pitch
20VC: Why To Win in AI, Investors Need to Change Their Approach | Why VC is Run by Principals and Associates and is a Broken System | The Bull Case for Anthropic & Whether Deepseek Changes Their Strategy with Nabeel Hyatt @ Spark Capital

About 20% of the time, 25% of the time, founders are down for it. After we invest, I immediately try and have a conversation and get a pitch deck together for the next round. Just a glossary, just a table of contents.

What would you want your next pitch to be? Could be story, could be product, could be data, could be anything. It's storytelling. It's always storytelling. Let's get the story down. And I think people default back to numbers when they have no other story to tell. So let's start from the beginning.
