VC, can I buy you a drink!

Ryan Bethencourt writes "It seems like the valley is ticking along pretty well. Some VC's are complaining about all of the attention they're getting, whilst others are looking for more attention. I think a possible solution for both of these types of VC's is to get an independent website to rate, each venture capital company on their submission to acceptance ratio." I'm not so sure that's necessary. VC reputations are pretty easy to grasp pretty quickly. Secondly, it's not about the submission to acceptance ratio, it's about getting in front of the VCs, which is all about connections. Getting into a VC where you don't have a reference is next to impossible. And, even if you do make it, chances are nothing will come of it.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
