I'm a VC-backed founder. I've helped over 40 separate founders/teams raise big. AMA about stories 👇

@ilijarolovic Hahahaha! Good one, and there is a fine line. I've seen founders become friends with best investors whom they never hoped to speak with through snail mails, and I've also seen some responses where these mails were seen as disrespecting the personal space the investor enjoys. However, I prefer the digital medium given that most professional attention today is digital. If anyone reading this is thinking about snail mail, they should ensure that the investor has a track record of receiving those interruptions in a good way.

@bosy You're welcome! I've answered most of the queries asked here. Please give it a read and tag people in your network who will find this valuable :)

@mukund_chourey This is a very undefined question. The only true boundary should be needed. Startups with 50 employees before a product can be understaffed as well at times, and startups with 10 employees can have over 10 billion in valuation. Smaller teams are more effective, but not at the cost of sanity. In my view, a good stretch is always having borderline discomfort in everyone (good stress) solving for problems that will be aspirational enough in 5 years. The exact number can vary.
