Travis Kalanick, now raising $1.7 billion for his robotics firm Atoms with Andreessen Horowitz, claims only about 1% of venture capitalists are truly helpful and 10% meet a “do no harm” standard. He advises founders to craft precise pitches that spark bidding wars while avoiding a victim mentality, emphasizing personal accountability for boardroom conflicts.
