Ten years ago, Ward Cunningham published a Youtube video that introduced the concept of “technical debt” to the world. Of course, a certain amount of initial capital without financial performance is absolutely necessary to get a business off the ground, especially in regulated industries.

Both Sides of the Table

JULY 13, 2013

It was all technical. You know, the weird thing, Derek, and I should probably let you speak some time, but I was deeply technical when I went into Andersen consulting, and I got paid much less than engineers who graduated, because I had a degree in economics. So it was from ’91 to ’94 that I programmed.

We were roommates at the time and launched two different companies out of a kind-of dumpy apartment: We both went on to raise millions in venture capital and build meaningful businesses in interesting spaces. But we got serious in early 2016 when we developed deep conviction around the immense technical vision of Ethereum.

At this stage you’re essentially selling yourself and your cofounders. That’s why much early stage funding is “Friends and Family”; your friends and family naturally overrate you and/or can’t say no. PreCog Security, a company I am currently helping to build as cofounder, is taking this approach.

So how early should the founders pack their bags and ship out to the U.S.? Our analysis and interviews suggest the prevailing wisdom has shifted toward a simple answer: as early as possible. Although the technical team often remains in Israel, many of the executives interviewed recommend departing for the U.S.

The timing is perfect, there is more than a little overlap with Vivek Wadhwa’s guest post on venture capital earlier today. One of the things I do as a founder of a later stage startup is to meet with early stage entrepreneurs to help them get their companies going. Johnny Good post.

For early stage companies, it’s important to show that you’re on path, that you have prospects, and that you can get to your vision. The usual tempo for raising money from venture capital is at a minimum of a year between financings. Put another way, the ideal financing partner is a financing cofounder.
