Anyone who might have access to your trade secrets should sign an NDA at the beginning of the relationship. Technical controls like MDM (mobile device management) and NBA (network behavior analysis) software do help, but aren’t sufficient on their own.

Entrepreneurs often get the advice from their lawyers and friends to always get a Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDA or CDA) signed before disclosing anything about their new venture. If you are totally risk-averse, then push to always get signed NDAs. The format of an NDA is simple, and you can download a sample from my website.

A note about NDAs: 1) almost no experienced entrepreneurs/VCs will sign them (in fact, you asking them too is widely considered a sign of inexperience), 2) It’s not clear they have any real value – are you really going to spend years suing someone who signed an NDA? Have any candidate sign an NDA.

When we installed a network for a client, we used a company called Allcom (run by two brothers – Jim Galvin and Mike Galvin.) This was before WiFi networks so the cabling jobs, especially in downtown Boston, were never trivial, especially in the older buildings. It started, like many things, completely randomly.

You identify the “hot” companies; network into them; and sell them on the value of accepting your capital. Some Value companies are in that position because the founder was not well-networked and/or not very good at fundraising, as opposed to the founder just being in a sector that’s not in favor.

Behind the stories of most first-time venture-backed CEOs building startups and attacking markets at breakneck speed, there is usually a tight network of mentors and peers showing them the ropes of company building. You should probably sign an NDA. Ideally this is a CEO you admire, and one you already have a relationship with.

Don’t Even Ask for an NDA This just makes me laugh. UPDATE: It is of course perfectly reasonable to ask for an NDA before giving away the super secret sauce. As a corollary, cold call a VC and try and get them to sign an NDA before your first meeting. Such a network ideally should maintain its own cloud and bank.

How many entrepreneurs opening words are about how stealth their project is, followed by a 10-page NDA to hear word one? A common mistake startups make in trying to meet investors is, counterintuitively, focusing too much on networking with actual investors. Guarding The "Big Idea". I was totally guilty of this back in the day.
