2000 advice financing networking 
Both Sides of the Table
FEBRUARY 8, 2010
So my first advice is not to rush in the fund raising process. They made great introductions, they helped you get financed, the put in more money themselves, they helped you strategically and they helped you with your exit. Don’t take my advice, take Eric Clapton’s. My chips were down in late 2000 / early 2001.

The A round was done in February 2000 (end of the bull market) and my B round was done in April 2001 (bear market). In the era of social networking if you can’t figure out how to get intro’d to me you probably aren’t cut out to be an entrepreneur. Tags: Start-up Advice. I eventually needed more money.

One investor played chicken with me by threatening not to approve my next-round financing unless I gave him more equity. Our advice is what helped them target the right market, hire the right team, build the right products.&# And there are some delusional people who really believe it. And I had all the VCs play head games with me.

I had previously raised VC in 1999, 2000, 2001 and 2005. There was no viral social networking products back then like Twitter where people could easily discover your content. We will hopefully close on a $2-3 million financing round at some point in January and I can get back to the full time work of running my business.

There is all sorts of advice on the Internet about how to raise capital. I raised money as an entrepreneur, like you, in 1999, 2000, 2001, 2003 and 2005 for two different companies. I’ve tried to make this advice as well-rounded and biased free as I can. Raising money is hard. Of course much of it is conflicting.
