And if we look at our country and what's going on right now, we need more people that have developed relationships of trust and character.

And he's not only a great example of that, but in the interview, he teaches us how to do that.

Yeah, the most important advice here is to present as they want to be presented to.

Most venture capitalists either have a video or a blog or something online talking about how they like presentations to go.

So if you come with that information, hey, I did some research.

on your firm and you guys tend to like to use PowerPoint or you guys tend to just like to do Q&A.

And I would start by saying, I've done some research.

I assume that what you guys really like to do is Q&A.

Should we jump right to that?

Or I have a PowerPoint, we can use that.

So you're kind of asking for permission and then they feel like, wow, you're sophisticated.

The second thing about venture capitalists is they're a little bit like car dealers in the sense that they know what they're doing.

If you try to play their game, they're gonna win.

They're gonna play it better.

And so what I say is rather than try to play their game better, create the terms for the game.

And I tell students, create a two-week period that you're willing to talk to venture capitalists.

Define that so that they don't drag it out for four months and introduce you individually to their partners over a long period of time.

And it creates a little bit of a scarcity mentality.

So don't try to play their game.

Play your game because you're not going to play their game better.
