I heard the short deadline advice also, it’s nice idea but has flaws:

- most VCs will have at least a few days delay on when they are willing to meet you

- intros are required, and often intros come out of other VC meetings. This means you can’t shotgun everything

- if a VC wants to meet after your “deadline”, will you actually say no? Who has more power?

If you are a hot deal or Michael Seibel himself, the short deadline probably works. For mid level startups it’s not as easy.
