Office Hours
I don’t completely understand the trend of VCs having office hours - meeting entrepreneurs, etc on a regular basis is what I’m supposed to do all the time, so having a dedicated time for it seems a bit strange. That said, I appreciate that approaching a VC at a networking event or emailing them without an intro is hard for a lot of people (as a self-diagnosed introvert, I particularly appreciate it) and having open office hours is one solution. So I’m going to give it a go - sign up here. Looking forward to meeting you!
Sitar touches on one of the issues I’ve heard from several VCs: “Shouldn’t we be open and available without Ohours?”
Yes, of course. But Sitar also gets it right here: Not everyone feels like they’re entitled to an hour of your time. They’d love to meet, and so office hours contextualizes that interaction.
It’s not an either or. It’s both.
