Only naive people believe that but for inexperienced entrepreneurs you can be fooled into the narrative by the press who sometimes write stories without the actual data. Higher education.

I write this post as a warning to pick your VC’s carefully. There are people like Gus Tai who any entrepreneur who’s worked with him well tell you is that he has helped coach them into building a great business. They knew enough about your project to have an opinion but not enough to help. There are many great VCs.

Startup Grind was a truly awesome conference and Derek the consumate host. Disruption of Education.

It’s a shame because the ability to nail these presentations at key conferences can be once-in-a-lifetime opportunities to influence journalists, business partners, potential employees, customers and VCs.
