Founders and VCs want to talk to each other, but sometimes the traditional video chatting gets a bit dry or a game of golf might be inconvenient. Here is the 2020 answer for making business deals!

I’d do this for PUBG. Any founder wanting to chat with an investor and get carried to a Chicken Dinner, DM on Twitter. :)

Which would you rather see?

@alexwallish I think the cool part about your idea is to take a game that we mutually enjoy, and to get to know one another in a familiar space while still being #pitchy... I do not really think that you intend to pivot to testing a thesis where fortnite victory royale = best company? Also I think it's better to poll active users, though still good to hear from the masses ...

@michaelbarnes I definitely agree. As far as a tournament, I wasn't thinking that founders would be competing base on Fortnite ability, but rather based on their pitch. Fortnite is just the backdrop. I was thinking basically just live streaming the founders taking turns playing with a VC or two and then having the VC's decide who to advance, play another game with, and then select a winner at the end, based on who they want to invest in, not who was actually the best player. Somebody else actually suggested this and I think it might have some merits. Just a thought though. I'm still exploring where to take this.
