On December 2nd, 2006 I wrote the blog post published later in this post when I was CEO of startup Koral about my experiences in pitching VCs.

Los Angeles-based Aggregage (www.aggregage.com) is looking to help aggregate the content across multiple blog publishing sites, and curate that information into specific, B2B niche vertical web sites.

But I’m not one to take on the big investment banks – I’ll save that for somebody else. Or again here in Consumer Affairs dating back to 2005. … have you had similar experiences? … should I avoid blog posts like this that might be outside my normal remit? Frankly, it disgusts me. Background.
