How many people have you fired after a week?
Have you ever been fired after a week?
Have you ever been fired after a week?
I know this is a black-and-white type of argument, and in real life things are obviously more complicated.
I don't agree so much with the implication of "VC meetings aren't job interviews, they're relationships." Jobs are relationships, too. In fact, your employees are often sacrificing more than your investors to be with you. For your investors, it's just money, and they have enough or they wouldn't be risking it in investments. For your employees, it's their livelihood, health insurance (in the US), families, and 8+ hours out of every day--time which is key when in your life, time is really all you ultimately have.
In other words, don't be so non chalant about employees. They're people too.
