Not enough. This “apply to us” format should be deprecated. There’s a solo investor on twitter who says “DM me would love to chat if you’re building something.” And that’s much more approachable. She’s flooded with high quality founders and startups.
People who run their own thing are looking for partners not a boss or anything that resembles one. This “fill up this form job/university application format so some alleged superior being judges you” is exactly what they ran away from. Speaking from experience.
It amazes me how many VCs or angel investors will put out all this information about what they want to see in a company or founder they invest in, but close to nothing about themselves on their website.
“We have money to invest come and apply to us and we will determine if you are good enough.”
Bro please.
If we are building game changing AI before we take your money we want to know what you stand for. What are you made of. How do you want to shape the world. What’s your track record of dealing with small companies. What’s your philosophy around investor relations. Prove to me you’re not a complete dick to work for or to have on the board.
