Together with Nic Brisbourne of The Equity Kicker / DFJ Esprit, I am writing a series of 50 questions you should ask when raising venture capital. We expect the series to run for a year, after which we will collate the answers into a book. We view this as a collaboration, so please comment to help make this series even more useful. This is #42 in the series.
So far, the 50 questions series has primarily focused in on specific moments in your process towards getting VC investment – negotiating terms, writing a business plan, meeting VCs and such like. Nic Brisbourne’s latest post gives an overview of the process from the VCs side: from first “falling in love with a deal”, all the way to finally making the investment. Of course, as has been abundantly clear in the series so far, not all VCs are alike, and neither are all deals, so while there is a general pattern that most investments follow, there are many points at which the process can vary. Learn the details in The Equity Kicker post, How do VCs make investment decisions?
