Yesterday, I met with someone at the early stage of a startup. Here were some of his particular issues: Most of the firms that come up are actually website design firms not website development firms. Also, you often find that good website designers may not be good at interface design for web applications. In fact, my belief is that most startups should either be looking for a marketer or a web developer as they likely need to be differentiated in terms of marketing or should have complexity in their development. He has a great concept with some complexity to it. He

Quick caveats: having fewer investors (3-5) is better than many investors (10-15) and PLEASE make sure you hire a great lawyer who has experience in doing start-ups to avoid pitfalls that will make VC harder down the line. Also, This is part of my ongoing series Pitching a VC .

On December 2nd, 2006 I wrote the blog post published later in this post when I was CEO of startup Koral about my experiences in pitching VCs. The only other ways to get discovered was to have good organic search results or to get covered by a major blog site. This blog post ended up on Valleywag (which had much bigger presence back then).
After my company was acquired by Salesforce.com I was asked to stop blogging and they took over my blog as an asset in the sale of the company. My blog was wiped out.

Arnold Waldstein , who stops by periodically on my blog and always leaves relevant comments, made the observation that, “if I want to connect with you, I’ll engage with you on this blog …from there, a follow on Twitter, a link on LinkedIn are closing the loop of connection rather that opening a cold door.” Many people who want to get to know me send me a LinkedIn invite, connect on Facebook or more recently follow me on Twitter. I’ve been thinking a lot about comments lately. I recently wrote a post about how to get access to people at conferences

Or look at funding activity if you are considering start-ups. Make it your top 25 where you think there will be opportunity. Work Your Network Once you have your one pager ready, I'd definitely use LinkedIn to see who I can already find. Based on your description, and target companies, chances are you'll be able to reach quite a few people already in those organizations. For some reason over the past week, I've been asked by three different people I know about job opportunities that might fit them. Since, I've given them the same advice, I thought it was

Individuals use social networking sites such as LinkedIn and Plaxo as career-advancing tools, even more useful in a down economy.

I recently got together with Aaron Shechet and an early stage startup to discuss the direction the company might want to take. It was a great conversation and I thought it would be a good idea to do some visible networking with Aaron to get to know him better. Tell me a bit about your background. I grew up in Los Angeles and went to undergrad at UC Santa Barbara, graduating in 2003 with Honors in Economics. While at UC Santa Barbara, I then went to Pepperdine University School of Law and graduated in 2006 with a Certificate from the Geoffrey H.
