MY #1 TIP WHEN YOU ARE PITCHING VCS: JUST ASK THEM WHAT THE ODDS ARE THEY'D INVEST

Summary from the TLDR Founders newsletter

Ask VCs about the odds of their investment decision at the end of your pitch meeting to save time and avoid confusion. This direct approach helps prevent feeling "ghosted" by providing clarity on their interest level. Experienced VCs usually know their investment likelihood by the end of the first meeting, so just ask to gain immediate insight.
