How can you manage unrealistic expectations from entrepreneurs?
As an entrepreneur, we must burn the flame of optimism so as drive team spirit and investor support. However, the entrepreneur must be willing to listen… to differing opinions within the team, as well as among shareholders and advisors. Optimism should be matched by a constant building of the pipeline, as the early days of the startup journey will be fraught with skepticism and negative responses. Hence, what may seem like a pipeline of attractive projects, may end up being smaller than forecasted. Have a few contingencies, and build alternative scenarios should initial optimism not pan out.

How can you improve your ability to identify potential investments as a VC?
Take time to get to know the founders… learn about their stories. Majority of VC’s success is based on the tenacity and determination of the founders and team. A 3 to 5 minute pitch won’t help… especially since there are a number of founders, especially tech founders, who are introverts.
