Direct Marketing for Money
More on how to get money from a venture capital firm.
In my first blog on raising money (Raising Wine Money) I described a ‘traditional’ route to getting a venture opportunity considered and funded – networking.
(As I understand it, Sean Fanning, co-founder of YouTube, a company that started, got funded, and sold to Google for $1.6 billion in under two years, is the son-in-law of Jim Clark, arguably the most bankable (and banked) entrepreneur in Silicon Valley. I doubt his marriage was an entrepreneurial run at networking, but his marital connections didn’t hurt, either.)
So what to do if you aren’t connected to powers in the industry or don’t marry well?
