Raise Millions by Hustle Fund VC Page 43 There’s also Burning Man at the end of August. This is when VCs go off to the desert wearing ridiculous costumes and return after a week covered in dust. So you’re probably not going to get any meetings with VCs in August. Good: September – November This is Eric’s favorite window to fundraise. VC firms host annual meetings in the Fall to bring their LPs together and they also invite some of their portfolio founders to meet everyone. Investors rush to do deals before the end of the year. There’s great activity happening everywhere. Bad: After Thanksgiving – December In the United States, we have this major holiday called Thanksgiving. It happens every year on the 3rd Thursday of November. It’s a pretty big deal. Schools are closed. No one really wants to work that week. But it turns out that the feeling of not working basically extends through the end of the year. Of course, most VCs come back to work after Thanksgiving. But Eric has been in VC offices around this time. There’s eggnog and snacks everywhere. Michael Buble's music is playing in the background. The energy is super low key. hustlefund.vc / @hustlefundvc
