If a VC asks his advisors what they think of your deal and they dislike it, it’s dead. If you’ve accomplished very little and are still a few years away from revenue, VCs aren’t going to invest in your deal. The most effective pitch deck lays everything out simply for the audience. Horrifying, but true. It’s simply too risky.

It lacked the audience my product needed to succeed – the early adopters web hackers looking for the next cool toy to play with.

How cofounders can collaborate without going crazy. One is find yourself an audience and a marketplace and that’s something you can start doing within a week. Totally automate all that so it doesn’t bring me down all the time and instead I can sign all the revenue, because that’s fun. Ryan: 50%, sort of.
