The number one question you all asked after reading my last blog post about starting a business from scratch was “how do I find my co-founders?&# And therein lies the problem in finding co-founders for that startup you’re dying to launch. Having trouble meeting folks you think would be good co-founders?

Embrace the risk of being specialized and present your business’s unique identity. If you keep hearing ‘no’ when you know the answer should be ‘yes,’ ask someone else — a mentor, a friend, a colleague, or even a family member — to assess your presentation. Maybe you’re using too much technical jargon.

You present your estimate for your company’s projected earnings and you see the VCs’ faces drop. Of course, nobody’s perfect, but when you’re seeking venture capital, some mistakes, more than others, can cost you the deal. If a VC asks his advisors what they think of your deal and they dislike it, it’s dead. Being uncoachable.

AUGUST 9, 2018

In their quest for sustainable growth, the elusive dream for most first time founders is that first funding. This can either come from the founder(s) own bank account or from outside investors. At this stage you’re essentially selling yourself and your cofounders. One of the easiest mistake to fix is timing.

Sony—Akio Morita. Sun—Scott McNeely.
