Are you venture backable?
5 questions. An honest assessment against the benchmarks VCs use to decide — T2D3 growth, TAM, team, and defensibility.
The math behind every "no"
A $100M fund must return $300M to LPs. With 65% of portfolio companies failing, 1-2 investments must return the entire fund. That means every deal needs 100x potential — not 10x.
