Why go to the States

A reminder of why I'm flying to San Francisco:

- It is hard to achieve the biggest outcomes without selling in the States
- It is helpful to have a US VC on board to do that
- Warm intros help and most European VCs don't have those connections
- I am meeting funds so they know me well enough I can make those intros
- I will learn their requirements so I only send them the right things
- I can feed that back to my portfolio companies so they can present themselves well and make sure they are on the right path if that's the path they choose
- Given the biggest outcomes often require going to the States, I can feed their requirements into my investment criteria

See you on the other side.
