Getting across the moat

Email|Link Posted by mwelch April 9, 2007 04:28 PM

Guy Kawasaki blogs another great list, this time it's 6 ways to get the attention of a venture capitalist. His best advice? Get a good referral. Some of the best nuggets though, are what NOT to do. Don't attach a PowerPoint presentation (save it for face-to-face). Don't brag about your MBA. "Most VCs want to invest in hardcore engineers at the start. The MBAs can come later." Don't make lofty financial projections or claim you're in a multi-billion dollar market. Follow Kawasaki's guidelines and you just might get "across the moat."
