⭐️ What's the big idea behind OpenVC?

⭐️ How does it work for startups? Can any startup just get in?

⭐️ How do investors get relevant deal flow and not a flood of pitches?

⭐️ OpenVC itself is a startup - what's the feeling like of building a startup for all the startups out there? 

⭐️ Stéphane Nasser is known for his incisive feedback on startup pitches - what can founders learn from him?
