Investment advice
April 30th, 2007
Paul Graham has a great post up about investors in the startup world:
Because most investors are a different species of people from founders, it’s hard to know what they’re thinking. If you’re a hacker, the last time you had to deal with these guys was in high school. Maybe in college you walked past their fraternity on your way to the lab. But don’t underestimate them. They’re as expert in their world as you are in yours. What they’re good at is reading people, and making deals work to their advantage. Think twice before you try to beat them at that.
A good read for anyone remotely interested in seeking funding.

When one is looking for funding the only trick you need to know is that you need to convince
the funding source that they will be able to cash in their investment at a value of 10 times what they put in 2 to 5 years down the line.
If you can convince them of that then you will get the funding. If you can’t you won’t.
