Ask HN: What is today the best team to raise funds in the Silicon Valley?

Although not a direct answer to your question, you should try any and all combinations. What I mean is, when you're out raising, you're going to have more than a handful of meetings. You'll end up having tons. You can use the opportunity to "split test" your pitch (the message, the team, heck, even what you wear). Every meeting becomes a data point you should keep track in order to help you optimize your fundraising strategy.

Every business is different so every "secret sauce" will be different.
