Had a meeting w a male VC regarding the “lack of quality female-founder deal flow.” As personally frustrating as this was/is, it’s not the end of the conversation. Here’s my advice to male VCs - DO the work 🧵

It sucks when a venture capital firm passes on your round.
However, there are many reasons for passing that may have NOTHING to do with you or your company👇🏽

1/ Mindset - Diversity isn’t a marketing campaign or charity work - diversity is higher quality deal flow that statistically outperforms all male founded companies. Start viewing it as such - your LPs will thank you.

If you're new to Austin and wanting to meet more people (I know it can be difficult during a pandemic), don't hesitate to reach out! I only knew one person when I moved to Austin ~ 2 years ago and met some of my closest friends from LinkedIn, Girlboss, Bumble Bizz, etc.

2/ Take cold introductions - VCs are notorious for only taking warm introductions. And why wouldn’t they? It makes their job EASY! However, women don’t have the same networks as men and can’t always get the golden ticket to your time.

Every time I go to these coffee shops, I run into at LEAST one ATX startup founder or VC:
1. Swedish Hill Bakery

4/ Hire female partners - Only 9% of Managing Partners (e.g. decision makers) in USA are female. Even if VC firms have just 10% more female investing partners - they have 1.5% higher fund returns, and 9.7% more profitable portfolio company exits (Harvard).

There is always more work to be done, but super positive to see the ATX VC community prioritize, champion, and hire more women!🌟

I personally love being a young person in VC (have been interning/working in industry since 19). However, your value add post-investment is very limited without operational expertise. You need to be great at networking, sourcing/diligence, and pattern recognition.
