Both Sides of the Table
AUGUST 30, 2014
Everybody has a blog these days and there is much advice to be had. Many startups now go through accelerators and have mentors passing through each day with advice – usually it’s conflicting. So far from not taking advice from other people – I want more advice, more data points, more opinions.

This blog post originally appeared in serialized form here on TechCrunch. I recently spoke at Caltech at the Caltech / MIT Enterprise Forum on “the future of social networking,&# the 30-minute video is here and the PowerPoint presentation is here on DocStoc ). And so it goes with social networking. The Past (1985-2002).

I wrote this conundrum and the need to take charge of how the market define your skills in my much-read blog post on “ personal branding.” But I also have advice for the 15% that really do want to be a startup CEO. Being a CEO begets the network to be a CEO. There is often money to be made in being contrarian.
This is going to be BIG.

This blog post is not about debating if "enough" diverse founders get funding--whatever that might mean. Everyone says they fund people in their network. The last issue at work is the biggest lie in the fundraising world--the relationship. Sure, people fund their Harvard buddies.
This is going to be BIG.

There was a comment made in the crowd about why women seem to lag men when it comes to networking. The comment, made by a female, was essentially that women look to build and rely on deeper relationships and are less likely to use their loose connections for networking. It was a head scratcher that they didn’t reach out.

And it applies to business relationships & networking as much as it does to remuneration in the workplace. But less as a complaint and more as advice to younger networkers, the more you invest in relationships the more you will get when you need. It’s why I wrote the blog post on 50 Coffee Meetings. Be helpful.

My goal in the interview overall was to capture more of the personal side of Fred since so much of his investment thesis and portfolio work already comes out in his blog. Fred is generous with his time and advice and I hope has shaped a generation of VCs for the better. Blogging is like Venus Fly Paper. This is classic Fred.
