๐จ Is the VC Game Rigged? A Social Experiment Exposes the Truth! ๐ I came across a wild experiment by @bhavye_khetan on X (Twitter) thatโs got me thinking. He created a FAKE FOUNDER persona with: Stanford CS background ๐ Ex-Palantir experience ๐ผ Mentioned โAIโ 3 times ๐ค No product, no pitch, no deck - just a cold email sent to 34 VCs. Guess what? 27 replied, and 4 even asked for a call! ๐ณ This exposes a harsh reality: VCs often prioritise pedigree and buzzwords over real substance.

Meanwhile, a 2024 Crunchbase report shows cold email success rates are usually just 1.7%. The difference? ELITE CREDENTIALS and TRENDY TERMS like "AI" play into VCs' biases.

Unpopular Opinion: If you have zero traction, donโt pitch VCs yet. You know what I see too often? Founders sending decks before theyโve even tested the idea. Hereโs the blunt truth: ๐ก VCs donโt fund ideas. They fund signals. And โsignalโ doesnโt
