Guy Kawasaki has a great post on “the dance” that goes on between entrepreneurs and VCs and venture capital forums and new product demos.
…entrepreneurs acting like they don’t need capital, and VCs acting like they don’t need entrepreneurs. (This dance is akin to acting prudish in a brothel, but I digress…)
He offers eleven great tips on what it takes to get the VC’s attention at such an event. You only have a few minutes, so it is critical to make the most of it. It is worth a read for anyone raising money, hiring employees into a start-up, or trying to make a sale.
(Thanks to Bruce Schierstedt for passing this along).
