Tips:

If you are a VC and want to be tough, be real tough.  For a VC, real tough is:

  • The strength to explain in detail to an entrepreneur what she is doing wrong when the company is doing well, in order to improve her performance.
  • The courage to do what’s right even if it makes you look really weak to the partners in your firm.
  • The valor to tell an entrepreneur precisely why you are not going to invest in her company rather than giving the traditional “VC no” by just going dark.

Give it a try, tough guys
