Ten Commandments for Entrepreneurs

8 Mar ’05

Allen Morgan of Mayfield is blogging the ten commandments for entrepreneurs – his "ideas of the 10 most important "procedural" things to keep in mind when you approach a VC."  He’s now up to #6.  Snapshot:

  1. Connect with the partner in the firm who has the closest investment interest to the space your startup is going after
  2. Be On Time
  3. Tease, Don’t Overwhelm
  4. Know Your Audience
  5. Create the "Aha" Early
  6. Explain Your New Idea by Analogy To, or Contrast With, Old Ideas

Much more in the post.
