If I'm on LinkedIn and I ask to be connected to someone in a particular high position at a vc, could I consider that given they understand I'm a startup. That they are interested and just waiting for me to ask to present a pitch or proposal to them or the firm? I had many from the firm look over my LinkedIn profile and when I asked to connect they did.

Not really; VCs are scared of pissing off people because you don’t know who’ll be the next billion dollar founder, so they’ll almost always connect to be polite, doesn’t really indicate their interest.

I have just recently accepted a position as Director of Compliance at a Fin-Tech company here in Naples, FL.. My previous 17 YOE were strictly in the Financial industry.

That seems low to me.

A question for VCs: I’m currently a VC analyst. I want to eventually come back to the VC industry and perhaps become a partner (if possible). However, there’s an opportunity to work at an Endowment Fund (Harvard/Yale/Stanford level). Would you recommend me to spend the next 3-4 years doing something that’s not directly VC related? Would it be hard for me to come back to the VC industry with this experience? Why or why not? Thank you so much for your time and help!

Looking to confirm or crush my expectation as part of a business model. Are M&A like technology assessments somewhat standardized for angel investors or do you start by independently evaluating specific platform, data, code, technical architecture issues? I’m assuming there are individuals who seek technology risks for value opportunities while others avoid such risks. Is it common to ignore technology choices or are there other options I’m missing?
