I have an angle that I would be interested on seeing you comment on here or maybe in a future post (I apologize if this has been addressed in another article which I am unaware of). I'm curious about does it really matter significantly if you "fit" the standard profile of the fund (I guess both in regards to whether you get funding and what it may say to future investors). For example, as an intern for one of the two VC's in Columbus, a good amount of local entrepreneurs and companies stay in touch with our firm. However, say a tech company from Silicon Valley were to one reason or another get in touch with our firm and we were to invest in a Series A round. When they went to raise money at a later date, would you guys at GRP or other West coasts firms think there might be something slightly wrong with the product/leaders/concept etc. since they went from the mecca of tech to middle-america to a smallish VC? This may somewhat apply to the signaling article you completed earlier, but I don't believe you specifically addressed how fitting the criteria of the fund (location, industry etc) affected industry view of the company.

And Peter, agree, I learned most of this stuff at Double-Secret Entrepreneur Wilderness Camp, but I am glad there is more info now and happily help; starting a company is hard enough without the spy games.
