An offer is worth a lot more than a five minute meeting—and VCs are much more likely to take you seriously if you’ve already convinced someone else to invest.

Have you read Paul Graham’s recent (Sept 2013) guide to fundraising? If not, go and read it and do what he says to do :) http://paulgraham.com/fr.html
