It doesn’t make any sense to pitch a later stage, “growth” investor with your seed stage idea just like it doesn’t make much sense to pitch a new tech startup to an investor who only does oil & gas. Some will invest in a great person with a big idea and others need to see customer traction and revenue first.

Some of the programs take equity in exchange for a seed round, some are free for participants, others work anywhere in between those two models.

Much of the difference in opinion and approach stems from differences in stage of investment.

CB Insights has become a very influential data source in the industry. He said he had no idea how CB Insights got that data.

We realized you could put some data to it, so we looked at the Harvard database of HBS alumni who self-identified as founders and cross-referenced that with CrunchBase. billion in our study] aren’t coming at the seed stage. “Just get going. VCs don’t want to fund MBAs.” And that just seemed blatantly untrue to me.
