2012 founder reference VC 
Both Sides of the Table
DECEMBER 17, 2012
But honestly there are times when being a VC can feel like that, too. I wonder sometimes if founders even know about the hours their lawyers or advisers put in on evenings, weekends, vacations. I had dinner with my friend Brooke Hammerling , founder of Brew PR recently. Not all VCs are good human beings or good actors.

I remember when seed funds first started (they were being incorrectly called “super angels” and then Micro VCs before Seed Funds stuck) and every LP (who invest in VCs) told me they weren’t convinced about Seed Funds (too small, too hard to pick winners, would they be able to follow on?). Non VC Growth Rounds. VC Infighting.

Investors sat with the founder & CEO, Jason Spievak, and asked him what he wanted to do about the future. We knew better than to start funding raising in August, when larger VC firms have a harder time assembling full decision teams – so in August we would plan and September we would commence. September started easily enough.

My strengths as chief executive officer (CEO) of RegioHelden were typical founder qualities: I was good at designing an MVP , persuading customers and employees, raising money and defining an overall vision and strategy. That was about a half year after we raised the first million in VC. Testdrive and check references with the team.
