$20k is not worth bothering for a VC (if that is all you need, get a bank loan or "FFF" round - friends, family & fools). $1m might.

Depends on the country I guess.

Are there countries where VCs are writing $20K checks? That seems like an incredible amount of overhead for them to bother/for it to be worthwhile to them.

Most of Europe.

Terminology matters. VCs are absolutely not writing €20k checks in Europe. Angel investors are.

Some VCs blend the line between angel and VC (often the angels are on the board/involved with various VCs).

That particular VC was on the board of directors of an incubator program which did small $20K rounds.
