How VCs really make their “bets” Found this flowchart interesting, a glimpse into how one seed-stage VC decides whether to invest. On the surface, it’s logical: founder quality, market size, product data. But honestly? It’s way more personal than that. Every VC brings their own: - Biases (yes, unconscious too) - Judgments shaped by wins & scars - Pattern recognition from past portfolios - Gut feel that sometimes defies the data That’s why two VCs can hear the same pitch and walk away with opposite conclusions. So yes, there is a process. But behind every “yes” or “pass” is a person, and that makes all the difference.
