How Well Do You Know This Investor?

2

The analyst in the VC firm reached out to us asking for a meeting. We were building the product at that time and hence we said we could talk may be in 1-2 months. He followed up diligently after 1.5 months. This time we agreed for a meeting provided the partner (Alok) also joins. We had shared the deck upfront, expecting they could ask more pointed question in the meeting. But the meeting experience was very under whelming. It didn't seem like they had even looked at the deck or done any research on our domain. They asked few boiler plate questions like traction, GTM and then told that we are early for them and we will touch base again in a few months. The meeting left a bad taste in out mouth. If you followup and ask for a meeting, at least do some research about the domain. It was a waste of 45 mins of our time
