great learning - thanks for sharing, Jared!
it's easier said than done, yet keeping cool and humble seems to be the optimal strategy.
investors (or particular partner @ firm) might be genuinely excited about founders' vision/product but that doesn't mean hard yes. many entrepreneurs (incl myself in the past) might confuse enthusiasm for a sign of success.
as we're kicking off our first round, that's a valuable reminder. the deal isn't done until $ is in the bank.
