As a founder, your most valuable asset is your time—and there is probably no group of founders who are more efficient about getting the most out of their time than moms. Founders can be divided into three groups. They’re the 8th company I’ve backed that is founded by moms, and the 28th company I’ve backed with a female founder.

Part 2, entitled “ Convertible Note Seed Financings: Econ 101 for Founders ,” addressed the economics.

Foursquare is good example of a modern hyperlocal site, which describes itself as “50% friend-finder, 30% social city guide, 20% nightlife game.” These hyperlocal sites don’t have to compete with global sites, and always have unique content, community advertising, and local issues. Building content is costly and time-consuming.

Introduction I love working with startups – and trying to protect founders and watch their backs. Indeed, in a world of easy access to online documents, it is often this legal compliance which is overlooked by founders, as they attempt to stay “lean” and “scrappy” (and sometimes even handle the legal work themselves or through a web service).

Probably a little bit of both--but he certainly didn't have the same kind of brand beforehand, and I'm sure lost a deal or two to "top" firms because of that.
