We love meeting entrepreneurs who take this blank canvas approach when thinking about disrupting markets. My partner David recently wrote about how investors tend to bring their own inherent biases (both good and bad) into pitch meetings with entrepreneurs.

Mike Markkula presenting Steve Jobs with first investment in Apple I recently watched an excellent documentary on PBS, Something Ventured: Risk, Reward, and the Original Venture Capitalists. This is the feeling you get from watching the venture capitalists talk about the entrepreneurs and other investors in the film.

For entrepreneurs seeking to build big companies on a rapid trajectory, raising larger scale venture capital rounds is likely a necessity at some point after the initial seed funding. For many entrepreneurs, even very savvy and experienced ones, this is a dissatisfying or even frustrating answer and I can appreciate that.

However, in my 25 years in the Silicon Valley startup ecosystem, I've experienced the VC corollary to the golden rule much more often: "He has the gold makes the rules!" When AngelList first launched syndicates a few years ago, I was very skeptical of the idea of angels taking carry on my investment. I got over it.

The last blogger in Silicon Valley. I think the title of this post is a TV show, but fitting as there has been much debate in the venture community as to the whether angel investors are good or bad for entrepreneurs and VCs. I was on a panel earlier this week with several other investors from Angel Groups in the Valley.

It was a great product addressing a large market opportunity and was interested in seeing how the AngelList syndicate process worked. As with all M&A exits, there was a round of congratulatory messages to the founder in the Silicon Valley echo chamber. Syndicates can either be company led or investor led.

I've read and written about it many times but I think there is one thing which is never loudly spoken about when comparing the EU to Silicon Valley (or the US in general). I personally believe that one of the major drawbacks to venture capital in Europe is chronic under-financing and people skirt around this issue.

The last blogger in Silicon Valley. Entrepreneurs struggle to find investors and investors struggle to find the best start-ups. One of the issues in angel group investing is that any one group often doesnt have the investor interest level to provide the total capital required for a round. ProfessorVC.
