>> One company needs you to help close a key hire >> Another is raising a bridge round and wants your input on the deck >> A third is struggling with a co-founder conflict and needs advice >> An investor calls asking you to vouch for a portfolio company they’re considering backing
This is the investor's perspective, but note all of these things consume a HUGE amount of time & energy from the founder(s) as well, and do nothing towards advancing your product or company. Good reminder how distracting outside funding can be - and this is AFTER you've gotten at least an angel round!
