Jenny Fielding, co-founder of Everywhere Ventures and former Techstars managing director, sparked a conversation about the appropriateness of early-stage founders having executive assistants (EAs) to help them schedule. Some suggested using AI executive assistants, while others defended the need for human assistance. Fielding's point was that founders should focus on building a product rather than excessive spending. Seed investors, like Fielding, believe founders should spend their cash as they see fit, but early-stage VCs will still evaluate their cash management when it's time to raise the next round. Fielding also mentioned that certain titles and high salaries at early-stage startups can raise red flags for VCs.
