In episode 2 of Making Sense of VC, we go deeper into how venture capital works. Should startup founders do due diligence on their potential investors? How do VCs go about raising their funds? Should founders care about where their investors’ cash has come from? What is corporate VC and how should founders approach it? And how do VCs differentiate themselves in the market? Is ‘founder friendly’ anything more than a marketing term?

In episode 1 of Making Sense of VC, we answer the question that inspired the series in the first place: what is a venture capitalist’s business model? We also look at what a VC does all day, how they pick their investments, the pressure they face from their own investors, and some of the misconceptions startup founders have about venture capital.
