You want the best VC partner? Then they, too, have to pitch why they are the perfect fit.
Have the guts to ask them mission critical questions like:
- What is your (real) value add?
- How is the decision process? How long will the process take?
- How old is your fund?—?at which point of your fund life cycle are you?
- How much of your fund volume is dedicated to follow-ons?
- What would your portfolio company founders say if I asked them about you?
- What are your reporting expectations?
- Who will manage us after your investment? How much partner support can we realistically expect?
- Why are we interesting for you? What are your expectations?
So, be bold and challenge us as a VC. Please.
