> Maybe you’re not a tech-head but you’ve hired a 23 year old from Harvard with a 1,600 SAT who’s your CTO (another real world example I heard just this week!)

Is it normal to mention SAT scores in an investor meeting?

No. At least, I've never heard of it happening, and I'm pretty sure the investors I've met would think it was silly.

Many years ago, my ex-boss was in an informal pitch meeting with a very prominent tech lady (who is/was a limited partner at a major SV VC fund as well as an angel investor) and he mentioned that he had signed up an experienced Harvard MBA as the CFO and her reaction was along the line of 'Well, so what?'.
