@aprildunford @mattwensing I often use the example (especially with early stage companies): you have to be able to send your first segment a personal letter.

Value added investors go beyond capital and network. Not per definition writing your code, but help you conduct C-level job interviews, get partnership, (Legal) advice, industry knowledge, etc.. https://twitter.com/jmj/status/1170072403587694592

Go out and build something meaningful
The average relationship between a founder and an investor is longer than the average marriage, be really sure you want to "marry" this investor. Because if one part of a relationship isn't taking the other seriously, conflict is in the air. https://twitter.com/gdibner/status/1215405424003993601
