FOMO Sapiens with Patrick J. McGinnis

CHAPTER

Venture Capital - What's Your Advice for Entrepreneurs?

Mike Evans: I would use the same strategy for venture capital as I did for finding an agent for my book. It's diminishing returns to hone your pitch and to hone your message because what actually is more important is you need to get the pitch you've created to the right set of years, the right decision maker. He says even though he can get anyone to take his calls, getting to a close is just as hard as it was for that first investment back in 2006. Mike Evans: You can't get discouraged by the rejections. The activity, the action item is still the same. Keep going!
