This thought is often voiced, but I think on a partner level most of them are somehow nice and clever guys.

What I don't understand is that salarymen "Investment Managers" have the mind of Donald Trump and seem to really enjoy having a gatekeeper function towards their partners / managers.

Another point is that so many people say "we want to fund innovative stuff", but once you show them something innovative they rather prefer the next amazon or IoT US-to-EU rip-off.

Very anecdotal of course!

Actually worse, they end up investing in some low risk company doing CRM for government contract management or even better some kind of non-scalable thing that was their friend's company.

Oh and they are all "early stage" but tell you that you are "too early."
