Conversely if you’re burning $600,000 per month (yes, some companies do) then you only have 5 months of cash left.

In the mid 1990’s I used an email client that did a pretty good job of “threading conversations.&# The UI was kind of crummy, but it did some interesting things. It started being talked about a few years ago when it threaded conversations appeared as a core feature of Gmail. It was called Lotus Notes.

However, the goal of the conversation and the context was to figure out how to own the market and create the biggest pie for everyone. Real money.

If you imagine that they did most of their initial investments between 2002-2007 then it’s been 3 years of mostly doing follow-on investments in those old deals. If they’re likely to raise a new fund then you might be OK but at least have the conversation with them. How much of a fund is actually invested in new deals?
