We aren’t fans of some key trends in early-stage investing. Funds have ballooned in size and investors are doing many more deals per fund. This over-extends investors and undermines their ability to provide meaningful support to founders. It also feeds a “ unicorn or bust" imperative, prioritizing the fund’s economics over the company’s needs.

If you have found yourself changing your financial projections or the amount of your fundraising to fit what investors want to hear, or if you have wondered where your "value add" investors went after the deal is closed, then you know what we are talking about.
