She found non-traditional financing. Without this money she wouldn’t have been able to finance operations. She hasn’t raised any venture capital.

My internal compass has always steered me strongly toward the belief that founders who can scale with their startup companies are better to back that founders who eventually need to hire a CEO.

Having time to think about “leadership” at most startups feels like a luxury. It feels like something you could turn your attention to once you have tens of millions of dollars and a large staff to run operations and you could step back from it all and think about how to lead.

And I’d add to the world of “lists of three&# the old adage that many VCs quote about boards having only three roles: Raising money. My primary role was “chief psychologist&# and as I’ve learned over the past few years the same has been true as a VC. Both are basically people businesses. Selling the company.

There is all sorts of advice on the Internet about how to raise capital. I’ve tried to make this advice as well-rounded and biased free as I can.

I have been evangelizing to founders for years to be more thoughtful about how startups update investors and run board meetings so I would be pretty hypocritical if I wasn’t willing to try and be more effective myself. Before making this change I called our LPs to ask for advice and input. I had a few objectives in mind.
