Schnelle Finanzierungsrunden und Gründer vs. VCs →
Eine schnelle Finanzierungsrunde ist möglich
Heute habe ich einen Anruf von einem befreundeten Gründer bekommen, der für sein neues Startup einen Vorvertrag (Term Sheet) von einem Investor angeboten bekommen hat. Es ging um einige inhaltliche Themen, die relativ einfach zu klären waren, aber mir ist eine Besonderheit aufgefallen: Der Notartermin war sehr zügig angesetzt, so dass dem Gründer nicht...
Auf meinem tumblr beschreibe ich mein Projekt, meine 1210er mit einem Holzgehäuse auszustatten. Ziemlich ambitioniertes Projekt, wie ich heute herausgefunden habe. Mal sehen, was daraus wird.

joeconyers:
There has been some chatter on Twitter about the value of pitching to VC associates. Thought I’d lob in my 2 cents on the shuttle to NYC. Full disclosure - I am a senior associate at Spark Capital.
Roles have blurred between associates, principals, EIR’s, and VP’s. Regardless of title,…

Auto-imports in Tumblr
I have set up a couple of auto-imports for this tumblr. For example, I import every flickr foto of mine that is tagged with “tumblr” to automatically appear here. This is very convenient, since i use a cool flickr uploader anyways.
I also import every blog post from my german blog as a link (and, since a week or so, as a summary). now this is confusing: I can click the links, but i...
Durch Zufall ist mir bei einigen meiner Freunde und Kollegen die recht schlechte Auffindbarkeit in Google aufgefallen. Das muss nicht so sein, denn Optimierung ist eigentlich recht einfach und hat eigentlich nur Vorteile. Im Falle der meisten findet sich bei einer einfachen Google-Suche ein Xing- oder Facebook-Profil. Das ist eigentlich schon mal ganz gut, denn so kann der Suchende zumindest...

Weirdly enough, I’ve never been to London in my life (apart from a trip with the scouts when i was about 12). We spent a great long weekend here, some things I want to get rid of (in no particular order):
Of the citites I’ve been to and lived in, Buenos Aires comes closest. This is probably because of transit, friendly people, amounts of people and the number of old and beautiful buildings. New...

mokoyfman:
We’ve recently seen a number of deals where founders/employees and in some cases early investors have taken money off the table in high priced late stage rounds. Yelp - Elevation , Zynga - DST & Facebook - DST are the highest profile recent examples.
These are great deals for the industry, as they provide liquidity and/or growth capital at very attractive equity prices for...
