Shulman: Should Founders Personally Guaranty Bank Loans?
Ask The VC
AUGUST 10, 2011
If, as an entrepreneur, you’ve raised any institution money, the answer should be – as Zack explains – a decisive NFW. In addition, your institutional investors are likely prohibited from doing this by their fund agreements. Their requirement for a personal guarantee from the founders and any owners (including investors) of over 20% of the company is another reason the SBA is a total fail when it comes to lending for high growth companies.

The Wall Street Journal’s Top Venture Investors Of 2012
Nick O'Neill
OCTOBER 3, 2012
When I read the listing of the Wall Street Journal’s top 50 Startups last week, I immediately began wondering which investors had the most portfolio companies in the list. While the article lists out the startups, they don’t let you sort by investor. I reached out to one of my researchers and had them compile all the investors to see who ranked at the top. Unfortunately, it isn’t clear who the individual investors were as the article doesn’t name them.

The Importance of Boards
ithacaVC
MARCH 9, 2017
The importance of the Board is why institutional investors (like VCs) often get a seat on the Board after an investment. But don’t be fooled, there is an element of control as investors want a say in critical decisions. I have now done 2 deals where there has been a lead investor (not CVF) who did not mind the “founder as sole board member” trap. We followed in line with the lead investor and went along with the structure.
