Fact 16
Elena Volkov’s main objection to the fundraising round was the retention funnel; she did not believe the company had yet earned the retention shape it was implying.

Elena Volkov sent the no from the VC firm. passed on the round, but not boilerplate at all. long note. I read it twice in the car. her main push was the retention funnel -- basically didn't buy that we've earned the shape we're implying there yet. annoying bc she's not wrong on the weak spot, but also... thoughtful. keeping her in the later bucket.
