TBC 146: Why VCs Only Remember the Last Thing They Heard

Episode notes

Venture capitalists don't have a perfectly indexed CRM in their heads. They run on recency bias - last in, first out. In this episode of The Backchannel, Jason breaks down what he realized after bumping into a top VC at a cafe in San Francisco: investors share what’s freshest in their minds, not what’s most relevant. He explains what that means for how founders should think about messaging, surface area, and staying top of mind - without being manipulative about it.
