If you are not following what Marc has to say about starting a company, you risk not being funded. Say what you will about what happened with Netscape and AOL. Marc rode the ride and has the authority
to talk about it. I remember some of their mistakes but he has a lot to share that is very valuable. I would also say that they did more right than 99% of the companies who tried to make a go of it in the bubble and that we often learn more from our mistakes than we do from our successes.
How could I not love this paragraph:
I'm going to assume that you've done all the basics: developed a plan and a pitch, decided that venture financing is right for you and you are right for venture financing, lined up meetings with properly qualified VCs, and made your pitch.
For me to add anything here would be to delay your visiting and learning there. The second installment has a large focus on risk. This is where you show your experience, or lack thereof, when looking for start-up funding.
