Setting your expectations Taking in angel or venture money requires a setting of an entrepreneur’s expectations that may come as a shock at least at first.

That the tech industry and its backers are not separate from the economic fabric of this nation and the mores of our society. This became evident when the American Alliance for Equal Rights (AAER) announced last week that it was suing Fearless Fund.
