The term “lead investor” is often code. Just like the word “quaint” is code in the real estate business for “small.” Let me know when you have a lead investor. Loosely translated, these words often actually mean “I’m not ready to commit.” You see, many angel and seed investors view it as their job to establish a “free option” on investing in your company.

Many entrepreneurs believe that if they can just survive for that first year or eighteen months, they will be able to dream of a prosperous future. The truth is, however, that while many businesses fail in their first year, more problems happen when they start to grow.

While listening to Harry Stebbings interview Boris Wertz on the 20 Minute VC , I heard Boris refer to his free ebook A Guide To Marketplaces. So I read it. It was a quick read, but very useful for anyone who is interested in marketplaces. Boris lays out all the terminology, explains different types of marketplaces, dynamics of building a marketplace, and metrics you should pay attention to.

Take it from someone who survived the Shark Tank: the journey of raising capital for a startup isn’t easy. If it was, every business would get off the ground without a hitch. The truth is, even the best startups have to work hard to raise money. In fact, a 2014 CB Insights survey found that almost a third of startups fail because they run out of money.

I gave a presentation ( How to embrace your inner startup ) yesterday to the marketing team of a large company. Goes hand-in-hand with the book I’m writing (working title: Thrive ), so when I was asked to give a talk on that topic I was thrilled to accept.

It is in the way we are able to internalize what we truly stand for.
