Coachability, strange concept...

Excellent presentation from David Rose on pitching a VC... all the issues that matter in a 15 minutes lecture, I think it is worth watching.

The ten things a VC will be looking at when deciding whether to invest in you or not:

Integrity + Passion + Experience + Knowledge + Skill + Leadership + Commitment + Vision + Realism + Coachability = selling youself

In my experience, the most difficult thing to understand for entrepreneurs is the last one, coachability, meaning a VC wants to invest in people that excels in "listening", in using somebody else's experience...

Watch it here.
