More updates, more casual events, more exposure to portfolio companies, co-investing, etc., For most funds, you get a quarterly statement that isn't fun at all, and then you get to go to a once a year meeting.

In venture capital, you say "no" a lot. Just take how most people approach networking events and talks.
