I used to think that investment banks and commercial banks got way too much press in the pre-digital world. Now I think people pay way too much attention to VCs. The founders are the real story. We as check writers are inherently not as interesting.

Make better decisions in venture: - talk, refine, talk, refine etc. - welcome objections, even poorly formulated - they are a gift! - data points are clues, not the big picture; don’t confuse the two - delay forming opinions - once you have a thesis, test it hard - dissent

Great fundraising tips from Tom Blomfield - hopefully helpful to many founders 🚀

A red flag of arrogance is seeing flaws in everyone's ideas but your own. You strive to prove your intelligence by attacking others. A green light of humility is applying critical thinking to your own ideas. You aim to improve your intelligence by learning from others.

Looking forward to packing boxes on our next visit 💪🏼 Dishpatch
