I’ve posted below a slide deck and a video on VC investment sourcing. I published the first formal study on private equity/VC deal origination best practices in the Journal of Private Equity, which became for several years their #1 all-time most-read article. I’ve also published on sourcing in the Harvard Business Review, Institutional Investor, etc., and continue to write regularly on origination. For more on this topic, see:
