I think the problem with VCs is that, most generally, they are not good sales prospects, they are pedantic. A good sales prospect is someone who give you feedback, even automated, so you know where you are. Even if they receive a zillion of pitch decks every day (as it is noted in the article), they should have a better process in 2024 to handle that.
I will give you an example as a customer which can be translated: I sent a simple problem to HubSpot and after many chats and email tickets they couldn't solve it! They are advertised as a top CRM, we are happy as customers but I feel there is nobody in the line. On the other hand we are customers of Bizneo for HR/PX and they are happy to make a call and help us. I would expect more feedback from VCs, they are more terrible than banks giving feedback, knowing that they are in a power position but that will not work for long time.
