A Bird In The Hand...

100 Words A Day (275)

I meet many founders who want introductions to investors. Many times, I already introduced these founders to a few of them. My gut reaction to their ask is wondering what the founder did with the intros I already made for them? Did that result in meetings? If so, have they been fostering those relationships? Have they tried to get intros from those investors. Sometimes, they have exhausted the prior intros and rightfully are seeking more intros. But most of the times, I need to remind the founder that a bird in the hand is better than two in the bush.
