The Secret Language to Charm VCs Using Language Patterns That S-E-D-U-C-E

VCs love:

– sequels. So say, “this product is a natural extension of…”
– open declarations. So say, “it’s all about blocking and tackling from here on out”
– pre-existing team. So say, “We have a pre existing team”
– VCs love distribution. So say, “Listen you li’l bitch. We have DISTRIBUTION. Maybe we can help one of your portfolio companies in our same space”
Then study Gua Gua Guacamole 
– VCs love self funded entities. So say, “funding isn’t going to help. It’s a distraction. We’re gonna ENGR145 it.
– VCs love connected concepts. So say, “All we did was DJ the dropBox API to Duck9’s leadGen score system and wallah: Ga Ga Guaranteed revenue. 
VCs love MBA phrases spit out by engineers. So say as a Berkeley engineer, “We are CTCFTR-ing”
VCs love douchie engineers that promote like a Miami club promoter. So say, “Sorry I sound car salesman-like. But I’ve an Elmendorf award. A Josh Silver, Silver Award. #1 in Engineering. You should google my awards given to UIUC. Do u even know where that is!?”
Then walk away.
Let VCs be like the popular girls in high school. VCs wanna invest in things they gotta chase down.
If you’re sitting there in their bullpen pitching, you’re not doing it right.
