So I thought I’d write about out with what I would look for in a VC knowing what I know now and why. I’ve been involved with SaaS companies with VCs who don’t understand demand generation, lead qualification, sales coverage ratios, sales forecasting or frankly when deals should be inside sales vs. outside sales.

Don’t think about starting an incubator until you have real operating experience otherwise you don’t really have anything to offer startups.

Fellow entrepreneur, Carlo Perez, invited me down to the MarS building, a bit of an incubator built by the government for biotech startups and research, where he shares community space thanks to a government grant of his own.
