What entrepreneur looking to hit it big isn’t searching for that next “patentable” idea? The costs associated with patenting your technological or creative boon, successfully bringing your product to market and compelling larger companies to come to the table and negotiate a royalty deal rests in how you proceed.

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. They need a combination of capital and experience to separate from the rest of the pack – the low cost of starting a business means it is even more vital to become the market leader more quickly.

This is an awesome situation – for us and for entrepreneurs – and something I’m extremely excited about. We summarize this as saying to entrepreneurs that if you’ve raised less than $3m so far, we are a target for you; if not, we aren’t.

I attended the annual LP meeting for a venture capital firm this week and got into a discussion about the above question. At a high level, I definitely agree that being an entrepreneur and being in school dont necessarily mix. Entrepreneurship can be taught, but the jury is out on whether you can teach someone to be an entrepreneur.

This time, triggered by an entrepreneur " throwing the Euro VC landscape under a bus." There have been responses to this from both VC's and entrepreneurs. Whether you like it or not it will happen and it's not necessarily beneficial to the entrepreneur. . Tier 1 VC's have established themselves and then you have the rest.

Fundraising (be it as an entrepreneur or a fund). If it takes forever to raise finances or your fund, there's something not right. You're a VC and LP's can't make up their minds and keep telling you to come back once you can show more? The market is hyper-competitive and you have to outshine the rest.

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. You’ll never make a great entrepreneur. So your journey to fund raising begins by strengthening your relationships with other entrepreneurs.
