June 3rd, 2010 Posted in Start-Ups, TechnologyAre you starting a business; maybe trying to raise some money? Need some advice? Men have died trying to obtain this valuable information, but I’ll give it to you for free.
- Never let on how much you need the other guy’s money.
- Stay in control. He wants a rate of return and you want to scale your business. This is not a unilateral transaction.
- Express a level of confidence in your technology based on a solid understanding of it, your market and your competition.
- Understand and be responsive to the interests of your investors.
- Be sure to play side one of Led Zeppelin IV at the closing table.
I hope you get lucky…
