My answer to How many cups of coffee can a venture capitalist drink in one work day? on Quora
When we were raising our seed round we quickly realised that lining up four “coffee” meetings with potential investors in a single day wasn’t going to be sustainable... so we switched to tea and other lower-caffeine drinks. At one meeting I even had a hot chocolate.
I know one investor who sticks to green tea.
