Both Sides of the Table

MAY 4, 2010

Had a great chat with Jim Armstrong who is a General Partner at Clearstone Venture Partners today on TWiVC. It was especially fun for me because we got the chance to talk about the VC industry and how entrepreneurs should think about the VC industry in addition to discussing deals. Segment Two: “Deal of the Week”.

Jason Nazar

MARCH 22, 2011

In the bay area it’s quite common for the entrepreneurs starting a company to be developers or technologists who can build the first versions of their products. Entrepreneurs that start companies in LA are often focused on revenue and business models. That’s typically not the case in Los Angeles.

What Do VCs Read

The Quigley Report

In my opinion, most of what inspires a VC to get excited about a market comes from rumor, hear say and general media publications. I mentioned that VCs tend to read a lot of general media publications (WSJ, NYT, Forbes, Fortune, ect). This is one of the reasons so many venture backed deals are flawed from the start.
