It''s a co-working space full of creatives and freelancers, most of whom who have never pitched an investor, and probably never seen a startup pitch either. Their reaction to what I do day in and day out is very telling about how a lot of people, including VCs themselves, think of the job. Well, I guess I''m not surprised.

This will be the post where I dangerously attempt to walk the minefield of a white male VC opining on the topic.

Perfect pitch, a singer’s ability to produce any given musical note without a reference tone, is a rare phenomenon — only 1-5 people out of every 10,000 have it. While your odds of creating a perfect pitch deck that captures coveted VC interest aren’t quite that dire, they’re not exactly in your favor, either.

If you wanted to interview me somewhere for an open audience, I’d say yes to just about every opportunity. It’s easy for a VC to just stick within your own networks and filter bubbles—and hard to scale being “open” without opening the floodgates. Thanks to our sponsors, Withum and J&O Law , we’ll be doing this event quarterly.
