the odds of them telling the truth multiplied by the odds of them being correct are so low that you're just very little signal in what investors tell you about no.
You should definitely hear the no, though.
Yeah.
I don't know how many founders out there actually secretly hate you because you tell them something that they didn't want to hear.
It's probably non-zero.
By the way, my overall experience with VCs have been incredibly positive, including those who've passed and become friends and people that I hang out with, and there's no ill will at all, but I have way more negative experiences than positive.
Not to say they weren't positive experiences, but I think you said earlier you enjoy pitching investors.
I like pitching, but I don't like hearing no or getting ghosted or whatever.
Have you ever had a terrible one where they fell asleep?
No, I've had a customer fall asleep on me, never an investor.
What did you do?
Did you wake them up?
It was like seven or eight years ago.

It was a prospect.

The worst one, I walked out of one investor meeting.
Not in a huff.
