How to effectively “network” with founders?
While it seems like an easy task, the power dynamics between founders and investors can often lead to awkward interactions.
DOs:
- Be extra curious: founders live and breathe with the problem they are solving, the more curious you are at learning more about that, the more energized they become.
- Talk to non-founders: this one is not obvious but the best founders of tomorrow are often startup employees of today.
- Be vulnerable: things are tough for founders but it's tough for VCs too. It's ok to share the struggles without disclosing too much information.
DONT's:
- Ask “What are you building?”: founders have to pitch all day and likely dislike having to do it again at a happy hour.
- Just hang out with other VCs: while it's nice to stay within your comfort zone, this is the best opportunity to get to know founders.
- Tell someone they're “not a fit”: instead of assessing fit, see if they know someone who might fall within your investment thesis.
