How is your VC doing?
Brad Feld (a well known VC and blogger) wrote a piece on 3 questions to ask your VC to check their fund’s interest in your company and its health. I like this post – it is similar to one I am drafting on why you should talk to your VC about how much they have reserved for follow on investments in your startup. Brad’s key points are that the venture capitalist, as an investor and important partner in your startup, owes it to you to let you know how likely they are to continue to support your business.
I will be attending the OMMA online behavioral advertising conference on Thursday in NYC
As one of my new year’s resolutions I promised to let you know if I’d be attending interesting conferences. This Thursday (Feb 26th) I’ll be at the OMMA Behavioral conference. Let me know if you are going to attend. As a well known Boston-area startup entrepreneur once said to me, “you VCs are way too into online advertising.” Yes we are, and targeted advertising is the name of the game this time around!
