Both Sides of the Table

I had previously raised VC in 1999, 2000, 2001 and 2005. There was no viral social networking products back then like Twitter where people could easily discover your content. Distributed version control model – first in the industry like ours and we are filing patents. Page 4: Business Model.

I actually enjoy the process of pulling together a selection of materials to create a complete course on Entrepreneurial Finance. I assembled textbook chapters, Harvard Business Review articles, cases, and notes to pull together my own textbook. This whole process got me thinking about the textbook business model.

The movie, “The Social Network” might have had more of an impact on creating future entrepreneurs than any other event of the past 5 years. Yes, it’s true that FOMO (fear of missing out) is driving some irrational behavior and valuations amongst uber competitive deals and well-financed VCs. Thank you, Aaron Sorkin!

Financing, that is.I had mixed emotions when I read the the press release on the recent funding of iControl Networks. Now that iControl has raised over $100M, this got me thinking back to our original business plan. I took a look back at our original financial model we presented to VCs in 2004. ProfessorVC.
