I remember early on in my VC career, I chatted with an entrepreneur turned VC who remarked “as an entrepreneur, time is your enemy. As a VC, time is your friend.” What I think some VCs mean when they say this is that investors typically have limited incentive to move quickly. Unless there is a forcing function like a competing term sheet, it’s usually preferred to spend more time doing diligence on an investment mainly to get to know the founder better, watching the company make more progress (or eliminate risks), and getting buy-in from others in one’s firm.
