About a year ago, I asked why more VCs aren’t using coaches.

After all, it’s something they recommend founders do.

Out of instinct to defend YC companies, I supported PearAI without knowing all the facts.

Marketers typically gravitate towards paid search as their de facto channel for acquisition because search inventory converts well and it’s supported by a robust platform of tools. Why does search convert so well? Because marketers are feeding it transactional queries, declaring intent to buy something. Even with the never-ending broad match transitions, it remains the most relevant ad inventory available to marketers.
