Random thought about VC’s
So elite companies tend to poach when seeking top talent. This is because the best people are usually not unemployed or surfing craigslist for jobs.
On that note, why do VC’s not poach more? (Not for employees, but for investments) Would seem logical that startups seeking investments are less likely to be rockstars than startups that do not need investment. Again, there is actually a lot of complexity involved and yes, most startups need capital just to get off the ground. But why not try to reach out to entrepreneurs/startups at a greater clip than just relying on deal flow from inbound pitches. I know this happens, but it seems more passive.
