<\/div>\n
My favorite thing when I hook-up with a girl is check out three things<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
– Number of pillows on futon<\/div>\n
– What books are on her shelf<\/div>\n
(Number three I’ll tell you down below:-)<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
So last weekend, I was in cow hollow with a freshie fresh. After BarNone, we head back to her place and fast forward to her bathroom time.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Bathroom time = my time to speed read what is on her bookshelf. The idea is that if I’m going to eventually share my flower on date #19, Imma gonna need to really know you. So I want to know what you upload to your brain (aka read)<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I saw the book, “He’s Just Not That Into You”!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I speed read Greg Behrendt’s book and parallel it to entrepreneurship. His “He’s Just Not That Into You” is a pattern I recognize. “Your VC is just not that into you”<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
– Symptoms START –<\/div>\n
a) Your suitor is slow to respond<\/div>\n
b) Your potential suitor does not initiate<\/div>\n
c) your potential VC makes really good excuses<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Remember Mike Maples slept on Evan Williams sofa. Founders Fund VCs send limos. VCs were paying me cash to pitch ME<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
For example:<\/div>\n

#ReverseVC<\/a> Pitch Party (yes it really is happening) \u2014 at Roy’s https:\/\/gowal.la\/s\/4DQX<\/a><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

I do not tell you these things to impress you. I am writing this blog about money and treasure so that you can pay attention to the things I pay attention to. It is because I hacked VC.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
I also hacked LP. But that’s a different article called “What LP’s should be asking GP’s”. LP is limited partner. They fund VC funds. GP is the head of a VC. It stands for General Partner<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Join me in HACKING VC so that “Your VC will be super into you and your unFunded startup. Where your VC will fund your inexperienced startup founder team”<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
How?!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I said hacking.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Hacking implies running computer science subroutines.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Business hacking has signature subroutines. They occur over and over. I pattern recognized these business signature subroutines and put a hashtag to these sequential steps many founders have taken<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
For example, “MVBP” is Minimum Viable Blog Post” is #MVBP. It’s 12 sentences, 2 pics, one focus. On a wordpress. It helps you crash a tech conference. #MVBP leads you to “Go From Crasher to VIP”<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
That maneuver, Crasher to VIP has a hashtag and is presented and previewed along with 23 other hashtags in the below two videos:<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Lever my work with #ReverseVC and make VCs pay attention. Reverse VC is an open source franchise, so you’re welcome to use it to charge the VC you want<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Remember, asking for $300 in VC funding will greatly increase your likelihood of getting $3mm<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
– $500,<\/div>\n
– $500k<\/div>\n
– 3mm syndicated<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
VCs, like women and MLB GM’s, Major League Baseball general managers, are SHEEP. They wanna be herded.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
VCs wanna be herded.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Will you lead us?!<\/div>\n
Will you dictate and lead?!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Remember, we women wanna be led. If you let us boss you around, we women will boss you around, but then we won’t respect Yu<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I did a stint as a woman (because I did gender reversal exercise as a female founder https:\/\/women2.com\/tag\/Larry-Chiang\/<\/a>)<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
See how we women can get mentored<\/div>\n
