Ask HN: What is today the best team to raise funds in the Silicon Valley?
When you meet Angels, VCs who should you bring to make a good impression? Tech guys, business guys? What's the secret sauce? :) Although not a direct answer to your question, you should try any and all combinations. What I mean is, when you're out raising, you're going to have more than a handful of meetings. You'll end up having tons. You can use the opportunity to "split test" your pitch (the message, the team, heck, even what you wear). Every meeting becomes a data point you should keep track in order to help you optimize your fundraising strategy. Every business is different so every "secret sauce" will be different.
