>"VCs compete for access to dealflow."

I am unfamiliar with this term, can you say what that is?



In this context, dealflow equates to opportunities to invest in startups. To have 'dealflow' means you've got access to a pipeline of promising, stage-appropriate startups looking for capital.

I believe in other contexts it simply refers to being in on deals; I think I've heard it elsewhere, too.

[Edited to add second paragraph, generalizing a little bit.]
