Indeed, there are too many junior analysts these days interviewing founders and building deal pipelines for partners. They are so green yet so smug but once you do get to their bosses in the next round, you often realize that you've wasted your time as your deal gets shoved aside in favor of those that the partners bring in themselves. In the end, you are just practice fodder for the junior folks to cut their teeth...

Hear ye, hear ye. So very true, and indeed rare. It's the hallmark of great leadership actually. In business or the military.

So very true. In many big and stable companies executives have a budget to spend. And it's not their money anyway. I've even been told to spend some money because it has been budgeted already for the year. If I don't spend it we'll get less the next year. Hence I should bend over to find a way to spend it despite it being a waste of money!

Novelty factor. That's why they call it the novel coronavirus.
