You should know. Sending a deck to a VC company ends up in the trash. Some get evaluated by algorithms which look for $1 million invested by 4 or more investors and media buzz talking about the company. If these two are not there it is also trashed. 5 out of 10,000 companies get VC capital that's 0.05%. You are wasting your time trying to get VC capital. Stop chasing the dream and start raising capital on your own terms and conditions. Book a call mikebrette@gmail.com. Discover your options.
