I recently bumped into another VC who reads this blog. He mentioned that their process varies in some ways from what I describe here. I wasn’t surprised by this and I want to make sure that the readers of this blog aren’t surprised either.

Each VC fund is different. Funds have different cultures, investment strategies and investment processes. The objective of this blog is not to characterize the fundraising process at every VC fund. Not only would that be impossible, it would make for a boring read.

Instead, I am trying to describe what I believe is a relatively generic process. I will also do my best to highlight areas that I see significant commonplace variation. As a result, entrepreneurs who read this should understand that this blog provides general guidance and therefore they should seek to discover the nuances of the process for each fund.
