I raised money as an entrepreneur, like you, in 1999, 2000, 2001, 2003 and 2005 for two different companies. I never suggest that entrepreneurs just randomly pitch VCs. I get approached about clean tech or biotech periodically – I don’t focus on these. You’ll never make a great entrepreneur.

A friend of mine is a serial entrepreneur and is running a high-profile, early stage company in NorCal.

Just ask anybody who was trying to close funding the fateful week of September 11, 2001 or even March 2000. But any entrepreneurs raising capital should keep in mind that this opening of the markets could possibly be temporary. This should not be confused with raising too much money as many companies did in 2006-08.

I got out of the university in early 2000 and I never went on to a full-time job, so it’s always been an online business for me.
