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. After my company was acquired by Salesforce.com I was asked to stop blogging and they took over my blog as an asset in the sale of the company. My blog was wiped out.

Separately, in the morning I called a seed-stage investor in NY and talked to him about investing in one of my companies.

A huge shout out to Ricky Wong of NYCSteals for helping me with the write-up. Seth also spoke about not accepting investment until after gaining traction. Initial traffic was driven by word-of-mouth, specifically blogs and a bit of luck. In 2005, Meebo started connected users across other websites.
Expert insights. Personalized for you.
