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 question #48 in the series.

The short answer is that you will be under much more pressure to stay on-plan – your job now is to execute your business plan and find an exit. For the long answer, go to Nic Brisbourne’s post on the Equity Kicker: 50 Questions: If I raise venture capital what differences will it make to how I have to run my business?
