Today, we're happy to welcome you to a slightly provocative episode on VC Memes and well-intentioned founder-advise from VCs. It all started with David and I wanting to bring Julius Bachmann on to shed some light on the world of a founder coach who had formerly been a VC. But he declined! However, a couple of months later, Julius came back with something to say to the VC ecosystem 👉 Think less about doing VC memes and consider staying quiet a bit more often! We hope you’ll enjoy this episode as much as we did making it.
In this episode you’ll learn about:
- What problems Julius most often have founders coming to him with as a coach.
- Why VCs should recognize that they can’t always be as good a friend to founders as they want to be (and pitch that they are).
- How Julius would wish more VCs would behave in the board room and how they can make room for founders to be more candid.
