What You Need To Know About Raising Venture Capital
I gave a speech to the Venture Association of New Jersey yesterday. In the speech I highlighted many of the less well known themes that I have blogged about. Much is lost without the voice over, but I thought I would share my slides anyway. Enjoy.

Very nice Mark
Curious why you did not mention some of the "prerequisites" for Venture Capital - like size of addressable market you need - Its better to seek VC money if you are going after a billion dollar market than $100 MM etc. Most entrepreneurs need capital even for small market ventures, but the VC is not probably the right person for it.

The audience for this speech had a basic understanding of VC. My focus was to touch on some of the common mistakes/ less obvious considerations.

I wasn't able to make it over to NJ that day. Any chance you would be doing a similar speech again? Looked interesting :)
