Great film w/ iconic quotes: “If the rule you followed brought you to this, of what use was the rule?” “Nothing wounded goes uphill.” “I think sometimes people would rather have a bad answer about things than no answer at all.” “You can’t stop what’s coming. That’s vanity.”

After numerous partners from tier 2 VCs told us no in our Series A, we were able to raise from a top 5 VC because I’ve emailed an associate and he drove the deal.
This whole debate about founders talking to VC associates is dumb and speaks to the deeper problem I see in general. Everything is SO transactional but life doesn’t work like that. Talk to people you find interesting. Who cares about their title?
