Normally, we talk about underpaying when the topic of invoices comes up. Businesses are guilty of terrible invoice management, meaning clients and customers don’t pay the full amount on time. Everyone is aware of this, so it’s not the biggest shock in the world. However, most businesses aren’t aware that overpaying invoices can be just as bad, if not worse.

Founders with great businesses are often frustrated that they can’t raise money. Here’s why. I’ve been having coffee with lots of frustrated founders (my students and others) bemoaning most VCs won’t even meet with them unless they have AI in their fundraising pitch. And the AI startups they see are getting valuations that appear nonsensical.

If it’s what you hate, delegate! You probably heard this before. And sure, that’s decent advice.
