Are VCs really that busy?

1 pointsuking1 comment

Some of them take 1-2 weeks to respond to an email even after a warm intro, but they tweet all day. Others you have to schedule meetings 2 weeks in advance. I know of 1 very high profile VC that is on a non-finance related forum I frequent and I see him posting and browsing all the time.

Do they just like to be busy to seem important or are they truly insanely busy?

They're just people after all... they engage whatever way of communication they like the most. I wouldn't be surprised if they'd procrastinate their mails.

Email isn't really the most loved form of communication and they get tons of pitches on daily basis.

I don't know if this is "ethical" in VC business but try to engage them where they're active (PM, DM, Reply, etc).
