Only the CEO should attend investor intro meetings. 
 
 No matter if you think your co-founder should be there. 
 
 Why is that? 
 
 Because if 2+ people are in the intro meeting it does 3 things: 
 
 1. Makes it harder to build a connection 
 2. Confuses the investor on who is the real leader 
 3. Takes away everyone’s time from building the business 
 
 If you truly think your co-founder is a better speak then maybe they should be the CEO instead 😬 
 
 Fundraising is the CEO’s job. 
 
 It always will be. 
 
 So let the others focus on their job instead of helping you with yours. 
 
 Now.. are there some examples where it may be beneficial? 
 
 Sure. 
 
 But they are rare. 
 
 So rare that I can say with confidence that you should make sure that only the CEO is doing investor intro call. 
 
 You’ll thank me later.
