I am the founder/coach of Never Settle Coaching, LLC a coaching business. For nearly 15 years I had analytical, numbers-driven jobs in finance and banking, working for some of the world’s largest banks. So I cut the corporate cord and co-founded Finespun Clothing.

That’s what we teach in business schools and classic entrepreneurship: you develop a business plan, you get financed, and then you start.

But back in 1999, a then very young Netflix based in Los Gatos with less than 20 employees, was on the edge of going bust. They had a couple experienced co-founders, including the now legendary Reed Hastings, but the problem was that they were stuck at about 300,000 customers. The title is not important; the work they do is.

The original company name was Scene on TV (going back to 1999), and I expanded into movies, and the name was also confusing to people (Scene instead of Seen). While many people want to learn about finance and investing, current forms of financial education (especially for young people) can be hard to digest. 27- Unusual way.

You may feel as I did in 1999 that the more smart people around the table the more intros you’ll have, the more sage advice you’ll receive and the more impressive you’ll seem to outsiders. Hopefully each lead or co-lead their round so there is more harmony in the configuration. The Perils of Many. The Pitfall of One.

Also, if there is a lowering of M&A activity this will lead to increased financing needs for startups driving higher failure rates or increases in “adverse terms” entering future financing rounds.

This “gain” ($34B last year alone) is a result of a direct wealth-transfer to these individuals FROM the previous owners of the company — founders, executives, employees, and venture investors.
