  • I knew it didn't go well....

    I had just presented a new product idea to a VC. I thought I nailed it. The problem was relevant, the opportunity size was meaningful, and it could scale. I paused and waited for the questions. I heard my least favorite words.... "If I understand this correctly?" It was the diplomatic version "that doesn't make any sense." Have you had similar experiences?

    Look, I've never had to actually pitch in front of a VC, but I have had to pitch for hackathons and such. I wouldn't other think. They're probably just trying to clarify and not be demeaning.

    I got such reactions, but never when facing a VC.
