GP at a VC once asked for a customer reference. Customer called me after. GP didn't show up. Junior partner was incredibly rude. Camera off, no introduction, no thank you. We did not take their money. Customer refs can be as much a test of the VC as of the company.

Why it worked

Opens with a short, self-contained line that is easy to take in at a glance.
Follows a clear Hook → Context → Landing shape, so the reader always knows where they are.
The opening line stands alone, so it reads completely before the post is expanded.
Written from experience rather than as advice, which is harder to argue with.
Short enough to read in full without expanding, which removes a step before the point lands.
Short sentences keep the pace up, so the reader never has to re-read a line.

The mechanics

Hook: Plain observation
Structure: Hook → Context → Landing
Style: Conversational paragraphs at a steady pace.
Tone: personal, punchy, corporate
Written for: Founders and operators
