On day 3 of TC50, I ended up talking to a VC who was so wary of being pitched that he was hiding his badge. He asked what I did, and I told him that I was working on an early stage start-up. So when I politely returned the question and he replied that he was a VC specializing in early stage start-ups, I could see him bracing himself for the pitch. But, I just kept the conversation going and didn't mention anything further about what I was working on. When we parted ways a few minutes later, he offered me his card unsolicited. I'm totally gonna tap that ass! ;-)jhstraussThu, 11 Sep 2008 13:54:42 -0000http://andrewhyde.net/how-to-pitch-an-investor/#comment-3603606Oh yes, he gets a pass.Andrew HydeTue, 09 Sep 2008 12:22:12 -0000http://andrewhyde.net/how-to-pitch-an-investor/#comment-3603605Homage to a great pitch.Andrew HydeTue, 09 Sep 2008 12:21:47 -0000http://andrewhyde.net/how-to-pitch-an-investor/#comment-3603604Plagiarism!!AdamTue, 09 Sep 2008 12:00:29 -0000http://andrewhyde.net/how-to-pitch-an-investor/#comment-3603603Dude!
