Roundtable Recap: October 12 – Why Do VCs Reject Entrepreneurs?

During this week’s roundtable, we discussed why there is such a high rejection rate in the startup industry when it comes to venture financing. One of the entrepreneurs, for example, is doing a hybrid business that includes hardware and SaaS. This business is likely to scale less fast than the VC target. Others have TAM issues.

I discussed all this and more in today’s session.

Best of Bootstrapping: Don’t Go to VCs as a Beggar – Go as a King!

Negotiation is a straightforward game. You can only negotiate if you have options.

A long time ago, when I was a young entrepreneur making my way in Silicon Valley, I found myself at the mercy of people who knew I had no option.

I did not have a Green Card.

My negotiating leverage was limited, almost non-existent.

And people took advantage of me.

I have mentored entrepreneurs now for well over a decade. I always try to help them create negotiating leverage.

There is nothing that gives entrepreneurs more leverage than customers and revenues.
