Is it okay to email VCs about their companies?

Yesterday 8 Comments

I am trying to decide between a couple of Sequoia start ups. Is it okay to email the partners to ask them which they believe is more promising?

    If you cold e-mail partners they won’t reply

    But if you call your upper crust buddies from boarding school who are now all VC partners yes

    Just look back at your lacrosse team picture and see who’s at sequoia

    Def reach out to the most junior analysts. If they’re early stage, they will very likely talk, especially if you’re a good fit. VCs want to help their portfolio cos and hiring is tough

    Some VC firms do like to talk to their future employees but I highly doubt they would recommend one over the other especially to a nobody technically unless you are highly skilled and talented. My $.02
