I’m tall and though it helps with certain things, it’s never enough to clinch a situation on its own.

I’ve heard it all, from dating, promotions, sports, and now fundraising. You still have to have all of the skills at it for anything good to happen.

Of course, it was a flippant remark, but it's more that there are some people who have the right "polish" (looks/Stanford/wit/connections/etc) and they can raise hundreds of millions of dollars for their companies regardless of whether it's a smart investment.
