1. There aren't enough social events, especially early in the cycle. So we're adding more.
2. Founders were surprised how harsh our feedback was at times. We may be able to be more diplomatic. But I think the fundamental problem is that this is a domain where, so far at least, many participants fail. So if you're truthful, you're often going to be delivering bad news.
3. The speakers got swarmed after talks, because there were some founders who schmoozed with all the speakers as a matter of course, instead of giving priority to others with specific reasons to talk to that speaker. We have a plan to fix this.
4. The acoustics in the orange room are a disaster. When the room's full of people talking you have to yell to be heard. Kate is having a huge sound-absorbing curtain made to fix this.
5. It's too inflexible that office hour slots are exactly 25 minutes. Different problems need varying amounts of time. So we'll make the slots adjustable.
6. Founders wanted a more organized way of getting and sharing feedback about specific investors, so we're going to build something for that.
7. We have to start teaching founders about fundraising earlier in the cycle, because investors are approaching them earlier.
