Any VCs out there have advice on how to build up deal flow? Different channels, tips you’ve learned from your own experience, or events I should know about. Firm is younger but the partners have good connections and reputation, just want to find new ways to increase deal flow quality and quantity. Thanks in advance.

I’m working through this same thing at my VC firm. Practitioner-led shop where it seems like the partners already have all the connections. But I’ve done a few specific things that I can share. Happy to hop on a call and compare notes with you.

Hi, I am a single-parent with a 9 year old daughter. Is anyone else dealing with same gender sleepovers with sexual exploration occurring?

To top it off they start trying to tell me they are laughing because they are reading “belly laugh books for kids”. Help.
