The video call is the new call
Some positive culture changes in this time of remote working, from my own experience, and observing my venture capitalist wife:
Calls that were, well, just calls, are now almost all video calls
Things start on time, on the dot (Germany-style)
Small talk formalities are shorter, but much more effective with the video picture present
Investors can size up the management team of a startup earlier in the process
Body language makes it easier to adjust the flow of the presentation (in cases of boredom, confusion, and/or excitement and interest)
