This is precisely working as a BDR looking for startups that have an investment round from a VC, to include them in a credit incentive plan in the Cloud. All the big companies, AWS, Google and Azure, have these programs and grant hundreds of thousands of $ to consume in their clouds (including servers). I think it is not a good idea for Splinterland to look for an investment round through a VC, not only because of the fresh money that comes in, but because of the other benefits that are obtained.
I don’t think too many VCs will be interested in SL. We are rather old.
