When a VC says no to your pitch, treat it like a song you didn't like on first listen. Keep pushing forward. Reputation matters for both sides, so don't burn bridges when you get rejected.

You hear a song, you either you like it and you add it to your playlist immediately, you might look up the artist, you start listening to other stuff. But if you heard a song you didn't like, your friend's like, "Adele, I swear, if you listen to it 5 times." No, it's never happened. You've never added a song later where the first song you're like, "It's not me," and oh, I just kept listening to it and it just, it hooked me. Startups are the same way, right? So if a VC says no to me, that's fine. Fast nose. If you are investing, I swear to God, reputation is fast nose. Don't be that person.
