The Tech Due Diligence is a VC’s nightmare
Tech can be complex.
Hard-skills and time are needed to understand and evaluate it
Understanding the tech value proposition is a crucial point in the deal-making process
Non-tech senior VCs can lack the tech background to make an informed decision
The consequence: a good deal on a tech start-up can be missed by lack of understanding the potential of a tech start-up, or a bad timing
