Raise the round this ...

after two posts on my blog, readers in soap suggested moving here. Copyright Stas please save :)

Being on Tekrancha, and talking to one very successful entrepreneur, I heard a very interesting idea from him. The idea is that the entrepreneur (who raises the round and makes presentations to investors from day to day) and the toilet have a lot in common. In the toilet shit, and after he went into it, the toilet flushes everything and is ready for the next visits. If it is dirty, then no one will spoil it and it will stink. Similarly, an entrepreneur, in search of money, does a lot of presentation, and on most of them receives a negative. But leaving from the next investor, he should pull the handle, and wash it all off, becoming clean. Those who break in the middle and there are losers.

Thought a lot ...

After writing the previous post I received a comment from Stas Hirman, who reads in English will understand:

In some sense - startup funding process

start from meeting someone at the party. Then you need other party to

"Call you back" and move to "the next base" (new entrepreneur is like

virgin while VC plays a role of South American macho-man). At the end,

you got fucked ...

family sex ...

As for me, 7 points out of 5!

Another opinion. From the investor:
Investment is like a miser. If successful, a lot of money. But the small card - threatens losses. Unlike the preference, there are no clear missers here and the investor must evaluate the risks from breakdowns, which is why the presentations always look for and consider the weakest points for the locomotive risk.
