This is 💯 and so good, so no shade at all. 

But…we have set the bar so comically low to be a “great” VC. Just “showing up”, responding to emails, and doing what you say you’ll do and you’ll be every founders’ favorite VC.

Every time I get to see the @sequoia process I’m reminded of what “great” looks like.

The truth it isn’t complicated. Some notes:

1. Make the calls you say you will
2. Schedule the meetings you say you will on time
3. If you ask for the data room, actually look at the data room

Absolutely agree. The expectations for VCs seem to be very basic these days, yet founders still seek out those who can exceed these minimums. Quality of advice and network matter greatly too.
