drizzle drizzle: the soft VC era<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
Like trends that hit the United States of America\u2019s middle, drizzle drizzle hit Silicon Valley a decade ago<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
To catch you up, \u201cdrizzle drizzle\u201c is a seemingly new business model. Sprinkle sprinkle is being cash flow positive not from an long-term asset strategy, but on a date to date basis<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
Sprinkle sprinkle is women asking for cash subsidy to pay rent, paper to pay for automobile, loan servicing, cash to pay for essentials, funds to pay for luxury goods to appear wealthy and cash for outward appearances (plastic surgery, Bobby Brown make up, ALO athletic gear those butt crack, yoga pants. Sprinkle sprinkle and drizzle drizzle is a business model. That is specifically a \u201cass model\u201c. And ass model is a business model for managing ass.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
The soft VC era.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
Drizzle drizzle is meant to be sarcastic where men ask for cash. This is what VC do. VC because we have a fund or in my case over 30 funds, we believe that our fund should be our \u201cpayment\u201d<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
What are we bringing to the table?<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
Well, as the VC with 70+ funds, we are the table<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
Soft VC<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
 Era<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
The soft VC error is about being entitled while being flaky about being late<\/div>\n
✅ cannot show up for a VC meeting five minutes early<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
✅ Assumes all conferences are free<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
Because isn\u2019t your conference better because of VC is here?<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
✅  soft VC era Is about being cash flow positive while scoping out deals.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
VC are NOT going to pay for DEAL flow. VC tipping bribing and paying for deal Flow is so sprinkle Sprinkle -drizzle drizzle is the trend now. <\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
EACH \u201cDATE\u201c HAS GOT TO BE CASH FLOW POSITIVE<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
No more pay to play<\/div>\n
