Understanding “The Funding Angle” I sit at enough board meetings to hear conflicting advice given to entrepreneurs about how to handle PR and announcements at startups. I will add to this as I write more in the coming weeks on the topic. Is Funding a Worthy Announcement? The short answer is yes, absolutely.
This hot list is based on various social signals of what people are writing about, reading, bookmarking, searching, etc. But, in running it now for the second half of January, the keyword that popped to the top was: Layoffs And this is definitely a sign of the times. You can go to the Hot List post to see what was hot then.
Either downside scenario requires angel deals to be funded further. In the latter cases many companies (Flickr, Delicious, Blogger, Writely in 05-08 and lately Invite Media, Aardvark, Dodgeball, etc.) Yes, the VC industry was over funded and too many non value-add people entered the industry.

The sad truth is that cash flow surprises kill many startups, even though they should have been adequately funded to survive. Of course, you can’t predict everything, but writing down what you know will identify existing problems sooner, and allow other team members to help. You can be on budget, and still run out of cash.
Of course, you can’t predict everything, but writing down what you know will identify existing problems sooner, and allow other team members to help.
