2000 Finance Founder Social Network 
Both Sides of the Table
JULY 29, 2010
The A round was done in February 2000 (end of the bull market) and my B round was done in April 2001 (bear market). But most importantly I lectured founders that you can’t avoid the admin of setting up your ESOP. Most importantly we talked about my good friends at Okta who were financed by Andreesen Horowitz.

I had previously raised VC in 1999, 2000, 2001 and 2005. Another called Parker Harris, the co-founder and CTO. There was no viral social networking products back then like Twitter where people could easily discover your content. In case VC’s haven’t figured this out yet, shit rolls downhill.

Who Uses a Consulting CTO I’m going to focus on the needs of the founders of startup companies: Founders of startups use a consulting CTO when they have business vision but limited knowledge of the technology needed to launch their company.

One investor played chicken with me by threatening not to approve my next-round financing unless I gave him more equity. before the really profitable years of social networking and when many in the industry were despondent. And I had all the VCs play head games with me. I was baffled. It was 2007. They were envious.

Clearly a startup should consult its lawyer before filing or not filing.But the attorneys I relied on to write this piece told me that they’ve done lots of Section 4(2) deals in the past, and would recommend it to clients who had relatively simple financing agreements (not tranched-out, not too many investors, etc.) Short answer: no.

I started thinking about this yesterday when Jeff Fluhr, founder of Stub Hub spoke at my San Jose State class. I liked the founders and considered making a personal investment, but ended up passing. However, I was glad to see they were able to raise financing and launch the service. February 15, 2008 2:08 PM. Anonymous said.
