Last night Andy and I hosted the first installment of VC Demo Days.  Basically a classic rip on the traditional demo day, where this time the VCs pitched to about 250 entrepreneurs as to why you should take their money.  Some interesting insights: —True Ventures has partner meetings 2x weekly - entrepreneurs can’t wait a week and they take pride in speed and transparency. —First Round Capital was founded on the premise of re-inventing the VC space and since they’ve launched have built great community and products through things like Key Hire Wire, CEO Emails, Secondround.com, and their recent Exchange Fund. —Brian Hirsch and Greenhill are really funny.  They took the best prezo award hands down.  (note the pic above is from the video) —Metamorphic loves high valuations - they are believers above and beyond everything else. —IA has the best domain expertise to help you solve big data problems.  If you’re an entrepreneur in this space they should be your first call. So much more insight than I can put into this quick blog post but it was great to see everyone and we’re really excited to do this all again in a few months.
