> What does 'coffee meeting' specifically mean?
Meeting at a coffee shop. Informal, short and stuffed in between the investor's scheduled work. Pitch deck may or may not come out.
One implication of a coffee meeting is there is a personal layer to the relationship. (Someone made an introduction, or you know each other from prior work. Website submissions don't tend to land coffee meetings.) It also signals a recognition, on both sides, that early-stage investing tends to require personal connections between founders and their investors.
