2010 consulting pitching VC 
This is going to be BIG.
MAY 5, 2023
No more founder pitch meetings. I’ll also continue to work within the NYC tech community—now thriving at a level I could hardly have imagined when I first got the pitch deck for USV’s first fund as a Limited Partner at the GM pension fund. This is how Fred Wilson described me back in 2010. No new investments.

I first met Wiley Cerilli on April 23, 2010. He oozed a quiet confidence--like a baseball pitcher who had all his stuff working and knew exactly in his head the pitch he was going to finish you off with. A VC once said about him that "I'm not sure about the company, but I sure do want him reading bedtime stories to my kids.").

Maybe this is reverse “hanging around the rim” where if you keep you VC process going long enough you’ll eventually get to “yes?” When I was young in my career I did some consulting for the European arm of Lucent. I had learned that this is a standard line every LP uses to have an “easy no” for VCs. I’d give it a bigger shot.

On Losing in VC. I decided to put both of those issues to bed in 2010. I know I won’t win every deal I want to in VC. There are other great VC’s in SoCal and there is always the allure of the NorCal guys flying down and talking about how they invested in Google, Facebook, Yahoo! Were their consultants?

Greycroft in 2010 also had an experienced team, but didn’t either. We’ve been much more successful in pitching old rather than new relationships. Thus, many LPs have outsourced their investment management processes to professional investment consultants (ICs). Emerging managers are not a commodity, especially in VC.
