In early October 2026 I posted a series of X updates sharing fundraising tactics, product outreach, and networking advice, referencing specific VCs, founders, and events.
Boost VC invested in 12 new Deep Tech companies in Q3, as I noted: "In Q3, @BoostVC invested in 12 (slow summer 😂) new Deep Tech companies 💰"
Six of those were the first VC to say YES, which I highlighted: "6 of those we were the FIRST VC who said YES 🥇"
I pitched EVORA to over 20 Indian VCs in the last month: "I’ve pitched EVORA to 20+ Indian VCs in the last month."
Most VCs receive 30–50 pitches daily across email, WhatsApp, and Telegram: "Most VCs get 30–50 pitches a day on email, WhatsApp, and Telegram."
VCs can detect AI‑generated decks: "VCs can tell when Claude wrote the deck."
When entering a new market, I advise to educate the audience: "If it’s a new space, educate them."
My deck design rule is one line plus one visual per slide: "One line + one visual per slide."
I open with a sharp question or light joke to capture attention: "Be confident. Open with a sharp question or a light joke so they actually stop and listen."
Even after a rejection I send monthly or quarterly updates: "Send monthly/quarterly updates even if they pass."
Employees are 100x more productive with AI, while managers feel overwhelmed: "employees are 100xing their output with AI, managers are falling behind"
My tech‑stack recommendation was blunt: "drop the L2, just use Solana! https://t.co/295F2vwWVx"
These insights reinforce my focus on warm introductions, storytelling, and team pedigree when engaging VCs.
