There are a couple classic archetypes of internet/software founders, including the genius college student cooking up something quirky but ultimately disruptive in his dorm room who launches his company straight out of undergrad. Reactions when I told people I was an “internet entrepreneur” ranged from smirks to blank stares.

Over the past decade, VCs have been lamenting about the poor state of the IPO markets and that the number of real potential acquirers for consumer internet startups has dwindled down to a handful, if that. That optimism, even, can extend beyond the IPO markets to M&A as well. Overall, a much more positive picture than the late 2000’s.

According to all of the blogosphere chatter over the past month, seed-funded internet startups are entering this year gearing up for the now-near-infamous Series A Crunch. The nuance which isn’t being recognized is that most of the companies of this latter profile, while viable businesses, aren’t venture-scale businesses.

Like a lot of students, I went into business school a decade ago with a set plan to start a company coming straight after graduation in co-founding an internet startup (… again ). My alternative working title for this post was: “Eight things I kind of knew and only mostly followed as an entrepreneur during b-school.”
