    75 posts to read before talking to a VC... or not.

    burn-shirt.gifFrom VC 101 Wiki: 75 blog posts to read before talking to a VC.

    Last night I spent three hours reading every word of ever post. Some were better than others but that's to be expected.

    Of special note: Devin Thorpe (Mid-Market Maven) wrote three or more of the posts as I remember. Devin seems to be extremely well respected. I had to approach him a the last Funding Universe event with my tail between my legs since I stood him up for a breakfast . He was completely gracious though. So Devin, if you happen to stumble in here... sorry again.

    Jeff,

    You're awfully courageous to read all 75 of those posts!

    I am eager to go to breakfast with you--no apology necessary! I only have one rule: breakfast is on me!

    Wow I didn't expect anyone to read them all! Glad you found it partially useful. I keep adding to it. I am going to put a disclaimer up there that every valuation is unique and not to take cookie cutter advice offered in some of the posts.
