So what’s a fake vc?

Some one who advertises they are a Vc for one .

It looks like this

Searching For Great Ideas- Investing In Stellar People!

We invest in and provide strategic advice to startups and newer companies on patents, manufacturing, go to market strategies, syndication of mid-stage growth financing, as well as Venture Debt financing. If it has to do with investment capital and business strategies, we would like to hear about it.

Our primary focus is early stage investing in disruptive technologies that are highly innovative and that are doing something that no one else has accomplished yet. Early stage to us, encompasses, seed, startup, angel, and first round investing. We are thesis driven investors who have a very specific set of business characteristics we look for that match the current portfolio and investment policy statement for our Venture Fund.

When a company fits into our “sweet spot” (meaning it aligns well with our investment thesis and has the business characteristics we look for), we are more than willing to take on the financial risk of market development, business development, management team development, and business model development. If this is you, please feel free to contact me and let’s speak about your opportunity, we would love to hear about it.

Also, I have also lived, done business and traveled this world several times over and bring this experience and those valuable business contacts to the table. I’m passionate about, health, water, agriculture, sustainability and winning! Contact me here for company and funding strategies or if you wish to have a 2nd opinion. My contact info is a lying and talk about investing but never invest piece of shit @timewastingdontgetshitdone.com.

The whole thing is a sales pitch to rail you in.

They wanna sell you consulting services at 20-30k per month.

So why does anyone fall for this ?

It’s so hard to raise money. The odds are unbelievably against you being successful.

How much are the odds stacked against you? Try 400:1. In other words, for every 400 companies that want to meet with a typical angel or VC, the VC will invest in just one company.

Those are tough odds.

So when someone jumps up and says they will get. you the money you need, you want to believe them.

Plan on Taking 150 meetings to get at least one investment .

The best way to get to the right investors is getting a warm referral from a founder they invested that ended up being a good fit.
