Entrepreneurs, investors, and startups
In the last company I started, I raised a couple of tens of millions in outside (venture) capital. As a result, I formed some thoughts about Venture Capitalists.
Mike Feinstein is an old work acquaintance turned VC. I've never worked with him directly, but kept in contact over the years, and have always considered him sharp. He's recently left the firm he was with for the last few years, and it appears he's started a blog. From what I can read, entrepreneurs would do well to read it. His thoughts, and analysis line up with the experiences I've had, and seen others have when building tech businesses.
Mike linked to a flash movie that has the creators planting their tongue firmly in the cheek. But as with many parodies, there is a grain of truth in it. It's speaks highly of a VC when honest self-introspection shows up in a VC. I should talk to those guys about funding next time I'm looking.
