- Dragging their feet on diligence, then asking for more time *after* the term sheet expires.
- Constantly pushing for 'their' terms or 'their' board seat, even as a small check.
- Going radio silent after the wire, then popping up 6 months later when things get tough.
- Flaking on follow-on rounds, forcing the lead to cover their pro-rata.
- Trying to impress founders with grandiose promises they can't deliver on.
- Demanding access to all portfolio data/reports despite a small allocation.
- Gossiping about other portfolio companies or VCs in the founder group chat.
- Trying to 'lead' a syndicate when they don't have the conviction or capital to back it up.
- Insisting on doing a full competitive analysis even though the lead already did one.
- Constantly humble-bragging about their other 'wins' during every portfolio check-in.
