One of the advantages of starting companies in this day and age is the plethora of resources out there on the web. Blogs (like ConnTIP, LaunchCapital blog, CT Innovations blog), as well as publications (like Xconomy), can help “lift the curtain” on the complex world of start-ups, and venture investment. A few interesting recent articles/blog entries to check out:
- David B. Lerner blog: David is a self-described “Serial Entrepreneur, Angel Investor” and is Director of Columbia University Venture Lab/Spin-Off program. He has some great info and tips. His continuing series of entries entitled Getting from Zero to One in Your Startup is a must-read for anybody thinking of starting up (or, for that matter, who have already started up). I especially liked his mapped out org chart in his second entry (Getting from Zero to One in Your Startup (2) Map it Out!) detailing the important players that a start-up has to begin assembling:
- Chris Dixon blog: More great stuff from a person with experience in the industry….check out How to select your angel investors.
- Simeon (Sim) Simeonov, the founder and CEO of FastIgnite (which provides executive advisory services to entrepreneurs and companies), has great article at Xconomy/Boston explaining the in’s and out’s of negotiating a Series A/seed venture deal (Negotiating a Better Series A Deal).
