1/ An underestimated founder is a founder that has the potential to build a successful company, a unicorn, but is overlooked by investors because she or he does not fit the stereotypical - cis-gendered-white-male-ivy-league-drop-out-who-worked-at-a-FAGMA-co-founder mold.
2/ When underestimated founders are seen and have the right support, magical things can happen. Take Tope, a Black man and founder of Calendly, for instance. He was underestimated for years and had VCs pass him up for funding, and later he became a unicorn.
3/ Imagine what would have happened if investors saw him for his potential from the beginning. They would have made loads more money and had their calendar in check for days.

🤔 Asking for a founder: what are VCs looking for in a pitch deck?
1/ In this thread, I cover a list of the questions I personally like to see founders answer in their pitch decks:

↳ Vision - how are you changing the world?
↳ Market size - how big is the market + how much is it growing YoY? What are the market tailwinds?
2/ ...continued

↳ Problem - what problem are you solving?
↳ Solution - what's your solution to the prob in q3?
↳ Competition/differentiation moat - who else is solving your problem and what sets your team's approach apart and makes it hard to replicate?

🤔 Asking for a founder: what should founders know about how VCs work?
1/ VCs have fiduciary duties to their investors. That means that we have a financial responsibility to produce returns $$ for our investors. If we fail, that can mean the chopping block for our VC career. That makes us extra selective with what cos we invest in.
2/ VCs also need to fundraise. We also need to pitch potential investors to fund our funds. Existing funds, need to plan & fundraise in the middle of a fund's lifetime (which can range btwn 2 to +10 years) for the next fund. New fund managers are also raising.

🤔 Asking for a founder: what's a realistic timeframe to get from an idea to an MVP?
1/You may be tempted to believe that a realistic timeframe is overnight. The truth is that it always takes longer and more capital than anyone originally thinks.
2/ Don’t be fooled when you see Twitter/YouTube stories the story of the SF-well-connected founder who raised capital & built a team based on an idea written on a napkin. That’s not what happens for most of us. Reality dictates that it takes a while to get from idea to MVP.
