The surest way to get a VC interested is to say that you're not interested in taking VC money.
Anybody who runs is a VC. Anybody who stands still is a well-disciplined VC.
The VC industry has benefited greatly from technology and the Internet, so I see how the VC industry is going to get disintermediated, decentralized, disrupted, so I can sit around and wait for someone to disrupt ourselves, or we can choose to disrupt or cannibalize ourselves.
VC firms that don't have a brand are going to struggle. Because there is a lot of money out there, you need to have a point of view, a brand, to really add value. You can't just talk about it, and say well, we are smart people.
If you can't get an intro to a VC, hang up your cleats now. You're done, GAME OVER
Individuals are certainly interested, at times, in having their own way, and their own way may go contrary to the ways of others. But they are also interested, and chiefly interested upon the whole, in entering into the activities of others and taking part in conjoint and cooperative doings. Otherwise, no such thing as a community would be possible.
If you're an entrepreneur, and you have a choice to go to a place where there are 250 VC firms or somewhere else where there might be one or two, you're gonna go where all the money is.
If you ask any VC what it takes to be successful, you'll get a description that sounds a lot like himself. There's a preference for self-similar individuals.
People are interested in science, but they don't always know they're interested in science, and so I try to find a way to get them interested.
The studios don't seem to foster good writing. They're not so interested in that, but they're more interested in what worked most recently. They're definitely very serious about making money, and that's not a wrong thing, but you don't have to make money the same way all the time.
I must confess that I am interested in leisure in the same way that a poor man is interested in money.
The left are not interested in what Chris Christie thinks. They're not interested in what McCain thinks. They're not interested in what Jeb Bush thinks. They're interested in eliminating everything those guys think. They don't care to get along.
I'm not interested in what they have to say. I'm only interested in people that are interested in me for the right reasons.
I wasn't interested in sport or anything obvious, so I didn't stand out. I was interested in music, but I couldn't read music, so I wasn't allowed to do the GCSE. I was interested in painting, but no one's interested in a 16-year-old boy who's interested in painting. I wanted to get out of school very, very quickly.
VC has always been this high-touch, in-your-face-type business.
Most VC firms are looking to bring in women because of the great consumer cycle.
I think just calling up a VC and saying 'I want to pitch you' is an enormous waste of time.
