The truth about VC value-add is that many investors don’t add as much value as they claim. What is smart money in VC? What is a value added investor? With an abundance of dollars in the venture markets, investors often overuse terms like ‘smart money’ and ‘value-add VC’ to separate themselves from the rest of the pack of pure financiers. The central question at hand revolves around how do venture capitalists add value? In this Dose, Steve Barsh, Managing Partner at Dreamit Ventures, shares his lessons on how to choose the right VC for your startup and a litmus test to distinguish value added investors. This video will help answer questions like how do I choose a good VC? What is a smart money example? What are the tricks to finding the right VC for your company? You’ll walk away with a clearer picture and process for finding a venture capitalist that fits. That’s how to choose a VC that’s right for you and find value added investors in a short 9-minute Dreamit Dose!

What motivated me to shoot this Dose? I was on a recent call with a startup that said "well, we're looking for 'smart money'." And I looked at a their list of angel investors and thought to myself "well, that's certainly not the case to date." It dawned on me that while many founders use the "smart money" expression, they don't really know how to put it into action. So I wanted to provide my thoughts and guidance to change that for others. Hope you found this helpful and valuable. - Steve.
Thanks Steve, Great insights
Investors are good; Investors who bring new leads and have experience in your business area is huge. Those are difficult to find.
Yep. Agreed! Thanks for watching.
Great 👍
Hi Steve, great videos - very helpful. Thank you! Can I ask a quick question please? If there are 2 co-founders, do both co-founders go to every VC pitch?
Thanks for watching Chris! No, they don't. Often you see that happen but particularly at a first meeting it's not needed. And while you are asking, do not "split the deck" and have co-founders alternate doing slides. It's like watching a tennis match. One person takes point on doing the pitch, the other takes notes. If a material mistake is made or there is particular expertise needed around a question/issue, certainly the other one can pipe up.
And you can take turns who does the pitch.
And... if one person is clearly, clearly better at it, let that person always do the pitch.
@@stevebarsh7727 Thank you! If only Dreamit did edtech!!!
Can I clarify the above please, it's DO take turns, or DO NOT take turns?
Thanks again for putting some great content out there.
@@TheNotAmazingGamerDad Hey Chris. I just edited my comment above and added the "not." No, do NOT take turns within the pitch. One person on point to deliver the pitch unless there is a very specific section that only the other can handle. Thanks for watching!
I love the grounded reality of this channel. BTC's price has been
fluctuating lately, but I think we should be educating the newbies on what to do aside holding rather than discussing
about the dip. The good thing about the space is that you can buy the dips and put them into active trades making
profits from trades while confidently waiting for a pump in price because it is inevitable. Most people do not
understand how the space works. Your advantage is understanding, Charts won’t guarantee what an asset is going to do.
Prices will go up or down. Nevertheless, the market has been so profitable despite price ups and down. I've always
played safe implementing trades with insights and signals from a renowned trader, Mr Theo Ryan. I made 8.5 BTC from the
recent crash in the market within a period of time.
Hello...I have been looking for such a profitable signals and guides from a pro trader for some time now how do i contact him?

@@robertpatterson4974 Thanks for sharing his telegram details, this gave me a small amount of hope thanks, i’ll surely reach out to him and start learning the right way, tired of loosing from price drops,
I'm also a subscriber of his signal's, and if I were to rate their accuracy I would say 95%
I barely made anything from the market always FUD at every little dip until I gave using a portfolio manager/advisor a try. My portfolio rose from $70k to over $150k in 8 months. Thanks to a great manager.
