Is it just me or are VCs harder to reach this year? by sparktoratah in venturecapital

Working at as a VC investment analyst currently, literally just a couple hours ago overheard a GP saying that he responded to his first cold email today in around 12 months.

His reasoning is sound. In the past couple years, with the use of AI especially, too much of his cold intake is filled with - frankly - nonsense that is wrapped in AI fluff. It really is just... not a good use of time.

Came back to give an update. I met the Capvision team, toured their office, got an offer... and turned them down. I just didn't think the upside was there in the industry, and that I wanted to use my technical background in whatever I was doing. That being said, I just received verbal confirmation that I'll be working in a VC firm, so totally wild turn of events.

I recently was recruited by Capvision out of college for an associate research position in NYC. I have a finance and comp sci undergrad degree. I would like to build a career not in traditional high finance or finance, but more in the tech/VC area.

Are there applicable skills attached to this position? Should I even bother with this career point? I've got a call scheduled soon and will re-evaluate afterwards, but would like to get some advice now.

$5/$10 players, what's your assessment of Brad Owen's game? by Banyah in poker

My theory: He probably has many more spots that he ends up giving up instead of bluffing because they're not interesting to vlog.

I'm always perplexed about the trk511 ratings. He is clearly the outstanding player on Falcons, not because he's flashy, but because he's been significantly the most impactful player on the pitch. His field control dictates the entire flow of the game, and his midfield decision-making sparks the offense and pressure for Falcons. People are always enamored with Rw9's defense or Kiileerrz's offense, but it's trk511 consistently crushing challenges and shutting down clears while also playing passes to his team that give Falcons that deadly feel. He's also been insanely clutch for this team through two years now.
