Both Sides of the Table

Here’s my advice: A got an email from a young, super bright entrepreneur today. He responded by emailing the COO and asking him to lunch. Busy execs hate lunches. Sure, they like to occasionally meeting good friends for lunch, important contacts for them or group lunches. And when is lunch or dinner OK?

For me, after nearly a decade in the trenches of being an entrepreneur I felt I was un-brainwashed from trying to pretend I had all the answers. The more self-assured the VC is and the more impressionable the entrepreneur is the worse the outcome. ” I’ve already blogged about how I work through this process: I triangulate.

In 2007 I started using Twitter and most of my friends & colleagues wondered why people would care what I ate for lunch. In 2008 I started VC blogging. I had blogged when I was an entrepreneur. They thought it was like MySpace and why did I need a MySpace page?

It’s apropos because there is so much noise these days with email, Twitter, Facebook, blogs, web shows, etc. I was thinking back to a few previous “insider baseball&# blog debates that raged for several weeks: AngelGate (aka Bin38 secret cabal), convertible debt vs. equity, bubble vs. not, and now the AngelList discussion.

I think some of this stems from the early days of Twitter when it was presumed that it was a technology to tell people what you ate for lunch. The idea was that websites (think news, blogs) could push out a regular “feed&# in an open, XML format that could be read by an RSS Reader otherwise known as a feed aggregator.

Entrepreneurs have to be wily in all of their transactions, especially long-term commitments, such as property leases. Which meant that we found a place that was up and coming where you could recruit top talent, fly customers and employees in and out with ease, have a place to go to lunch or dinner nearby during the day. Brilliant. .

This past December I spent a week in Boston to try to get to know some of the local VC’s and entrepreneurs a bit better. I recently wrote a blog post about why I believe that startup teams in close proximity perform better. Entrepreneurs need to share more information with each other.
