I was lucky enough to be at LaunchPad LA last night to hear Dustin Dolginow from Atlas Ventures/ AngelList.co coach the incoming class on how best to use AngelList to fund their companies. Then Dustin shifted to “crowdfunding SEO” — how to get discovered, understood, and funded on AngelList.

I had an enjoyable conversation this morning with a young team straight out of college this morning and they were calling to ask advice on how to approach fund raising (angels vs. VCs, how to select a VC, etc.) VCs should be more of a coach than proscriptively telling you what to do. SEO marketing vs. social marketing.

Holocognics would break it down even further and discuss why, for instance, SEO works in one industry and not another – both in the sense of why a certain business has a higher chance of succeeding in showing up higher in a search, but also why SEO in a certain business has a higher “acquisition” rate (to use the Startup Metrics term).

Of course not every VC has the fund size or the fee size to build services at this scale yet many provide extremely well-regarded programs that are valuable. And there is often competition over marketing activities, fund raising ownership and the like. So I find that less “management” happens at these firms.
