10-mistakes 
Both Sides of the Table
JANUARY 29, 2010
So I’m personally not looking for a 10/10 on every front. Competitiveness - One attribute that I believe most VCs look for in entrepreneurs is competitiveness. I replay things in my mind about why I lost and I try to correct my mistakes. This competitive streak paid off. I had to say it.

You’ll learn about competitive products that exist or are being built. I like how Mark Suster handles the question in 10 Marketing Lessons for Early-Stage Tech Startups. I also will point out that in the The 15 Mistakes of First Time Entrepreneurs : 9. You’ll get suggestions for improvements. "Good luck with that."

“Learn from the mistakes of others. During those same 25-years, I also made innumerable mistakes. Thus, follow the guidelines outlined in IP – Worthless To A Startup and only spend significant time and effort protecting your intellectual property when it is clear what you are trying to protect. Make Your Own Mistakes.

I write about some of the lessons in my post on Startup Mistakes. Shame about not getting it in legal writing that you owned the original IP. Like anything in life, if you want a fair deal on the deferred fee and warrant percentage you need to talk to a few lawyers to make it competitive. But make it competitive.

I established such a relationship with a fantastic lawyer and he taught me a great deal over the 10 years we worked together. They make mistakes. The money you pay your IP lawyer should be judiciously spent, but you should not attempt to save money by working with someone without the appropriate experience in your technical domain.

One problem with other avatar technology, is that in most competitive cases what people are doing is using a standard head model and trying to apply a face to that model. Unlike most web media firms, we've got a real, protectable IP, based on serious computer science, three patents, and five more pending.
