and I thought if we brought the community together for common purpose we could create more of a sense of community to help new entrepreneurs get funded, assemble teams, raise profiles and help with biz dev, product, etc. Companies were getting funded more easily and many more companies were actually being created. So we went for it.

I’m super excited about it — but I don’t know — I’ll let you know when I figure that out.”. We have a Startup Studio and Early Stage Investment Fund. I’m super excited about it! I raise this point because one thing I have learned about ADHD is that an ADHD brain has to work, it has to be challenged.

A while back I heard a talk by Dave McClure, a long-time angel investor, who also proclaims to be one of the “new breed” of venture capitalists in Silicon Valley, as CEO of 500Startups , which is either a micro-VC seed fund, or a startup incubator, or both. He is going gangbusters, and is now targeting a $50M second round of funding.

For many years after Microsoft became highly successful, its executives (yes, including Mr. Gates) flew coach. In a venture’s early stages, it equates to an additional dollar that must be raised in a future funding round, thereby diluting every shareholder. I promise I will never tweet about killer burritos or mesmerizing waterfalls.

Future funding should be discretionary to propel prospective growth, not a matter of survival. After we closed this funding round, I vividly recall a conversation with a Senior Engineer who was aghast that I was not willing to commit millions of dollars to a billboard campaign in Times Square. However, do not count on it.

Most of you business professionals that I know have at least thought about or talked about starting their own business, to get more control, make more money, or to get more satisfaction out of their life. Check out local sources for coaching and assistance. Assess potential for funding or bootstrapping.

Often I see executive summaries from entrepreneurs who have never managed any form of business, or even managed employees in their past life, and who don’t know the first thing about business formation and managing for growth. I used to tell them to find a partner with knowledge in business creation and management.

It’s as though we forgot the management mantra of the 90′s about “core competencies&# or the most common VC advice to entrepreneurs: Focus. With new micro VC entrants into to early-stage investing plus increased competition from angels, incubators and the like – traditional VCs have taken notice. Funny, that.
