I had previously raised VC in 1999, 2000, 2001 and 2005. We will hopefully close on a $2-3 million financing round at some point in January and I can get back to the full time work of running my business.

That’s what we teach in business schools and classic entrepreneurship: you develop a business plan, you get financed, and then you start. And my own company, Palo Alto Software, might not have survived the dot-com crash in 2001 if we’d had more money to spend in 1999. Finding investors is a win. About the Author.
