Both Sides of the Table
OCTOBER 15, 2009
Quick aside: how can VC’s invest in online businesses, digital media, social networks or mobile applications if they don’t actually use the products actively themselves? I did almost every VC meeting myself save for when one of my co-founders, Tim Barker, was in town. But my point is that I flipped burgers from day 1.

The most valuable resource the accelerator provides is the network, so use all my time to navigate that network. The press enhances this misconception around YCombinator demo days, where the 3-day pitch event is perceived like an auction, with investors fighting each other for the best deals. A HUGE network enhancer.

Both Sides of the Table
SEPTEMBER 18, 2014
The frantic pace of technology cycles, the amount of tech news, the blogs, the conferences, the demo days, the announcements, the fundings, the IPOs. As VCs we’re inundated with emails from founders, friends, colleagues, angels, seed investors, VCs, law firms, venture banks, corporates and so forth with their favorite deals.
This is going to be BIG.

This is going to be BIG.

A few weeks ago, I was talking with a founder that I backed and he was telling me how excited he was about his company. I understand that fundraising is hard, but if you do you best to leverage your network to connect to a bunch of investors, and you can''t even get a first meeting, you may have to rethink what you''re up to.
