Something has clearly changed within the last 5-6 years in terms of the speed with which monster startups are created in the software and internet space. What if the new paradigm is simply that software and internet startups accelerate much faster than before, but terminal velocity so to speak remains the same? Author howerl.

After all, high-quality open source software is free, the cloud makes computer power far less expensive, and anyone with an Internet connection can learn Ruby and CSS. In fact, it’s barely even the beginning for most companies in their seed stage financings. And that still doesn’t guarantee they’re going to fund your vision.

VCs attend tech events, receive pitches and consider investments largely in the same manner as in other mature markets. Much of the slack at seed stage funding is taken up by the Russian state. Since the date of the IPO, the company has tripled in size. There is no secret Russian handshake that lands a deal.

The numbers I’ve heard from most everyone is that only about 20 percent of companies that have gotten a seed round in the last year will be able to raise a Series A. I recently went to a networking event for one of the seed funds that invested in PandoDaily, and I’ve never seen such worry on the faces of the entrepreneurs.

Or you can find seed-stage investors who will give you the money to hire a developer. Go to CS lectures and events (even if you can’t follow what anyone is talking about). That’s why you need to be looking for seed-stage investors at the same time as technologists. You have two avenues open to you.
