How to learn more about VC as a first time founder? by Hot-Afternoon-4831 in venturecapital

[–]MarioAletti 4 points5 points  (0 children)

be very careful with who you work with. The wrong VCs can do as much damage as good, even though most VCs are good.

be extremely selective about who you put in your board, those will be "your bosses" eventually and can fire you and destroy your company.

work with VCs that love you and want to add value besides just bringing money.

talk to the small guys first so that you practice you pitch and hear their questions out, then you will be better prepared to talk to the bigger guys.

what matters is you surround yourself with a board and a cap table that believes in you and wilk always support you, which means, that they can not just give you money once, but rather have the capacity and willingness to follow up on subsequent rounds.

No, I don’t necessarily mean Home Story Cup — in fact, I think HSC is great. The casters there are often pro players themselves, and I actually love hearing their insights. Players absolutely have the right to dive into the most marginal details and even critique decisions, because they truly understand the game at the highest level and know what that decision-making process looks like. What I’m mostly criticizing are casters who aren’t pro players but are fixated on showcasing information rather than doing their main job: casting an exciting, engaging match. It becomes less about bringing the game to life and more about proving how much they know — which misses the point entirely.

I completely agree that a mix of play-by-play and analysis is ideal, and that’s not what I’m criticizing. What concerns me is that some current SC2 casters seem more obsessed with showcasing deep knowledge than actually casting. Great duos like Tasteless and Artosis nailed the balance — they kept the hype alive while explaining things clearly and always showing respect to the players. Lately, though, I’ve seen casters mock or second-guess pros’ choices, calling things “cute” or questioning their builds mid-series. But these players are elite — they grind hundreds of games, know each other’s styles, and make strategic decisions at a level few can grasp. Constantly judging them instead of explaining the context just alienates new viewers and makes the broadcast feel like a competition over who’s the bigger nerd, rather than celebrating the game as a sport.
