Dear SaaStr: How Do You Respond to a VC Who Says They Don’t Invest in Your Space?
You move on.
They almost certainly don’t invest in your space, at least not as your stage, with your risk profile, etc.
-> At a higher level, you basically can’t convince a VC to invest in a space, an idea, a startup they genuinely aren’t interested in. Save your energy.
Way too many founders send 2, 5, 10 emails after a “No” trying to convince a VC to invest. Don’t bother.
Instead, just ask them if there’s interest in getting added to your investor updates. If they say Yes, drop them into your monthly or quarterly updates you do for potential investors. A drip campaign to them is always a good idea.
