Kudos to you. <br /> <br />There&#039;s only one thing fund raising has made me...more and more determined to work every angle to make it work without having to be a beggar for money. There&#039;s so much about those projections that don&#039;t tell you anything about the type of entrepreneur you&#039;re dealing with. It&#039;s been extremely frustrating to hear that it&#039;s the idea and the management team they care about when all they look at is the bottom line. What are great projections with a team that doesn&#039;t know how to adapt, be creative, stay innovative handle real competition, take their product to market, and work under extreme conditions? <br /> <br />The way I see it entrepreneurs are sitting on the good side of the table. VCs need us (entrepreneurs) they will always need us...but the day will come I will no longer need VCs. Then someday, the day will come when they will need me to help fund their funds. Or even better...they&#039;ll want to throw money at my next idea. I much rather be in my shoes...however delirious they might make me.
