I did a presentation recently for a graduate class from The Founder Institute around getting online/mobile products out the door. I LOVED it because, the presenting part was over quickly and we got into specific issues that the founders had in terms of getting things built. Would you create contracts without an attorney?

In terms of topics we spoke about: - Do VC’s send your presentations around to other people if they don’t fund you? We spoke about employment contracts for entrepreneurs – We talked about “change of control&# provisions in your contract and how to negotiate them. short answer: very, very rarely. But it does happen.

I had written a blog post on exactly this – how to not suck at group presentations – and what he said reminded me a lot of this post. There are many analogies here for software development. He created demand. On What Next?
