| | Louis Coppey "The best startup teams own a secret. If you look at the startup ecosystem as an efficient capital market — I know it's not completely — "there is no free lunch". Hence, opportunities that are too obvious will likely be too competitive or already optimally priced by the VC market. We believe that founders who have first-hand experience of the problem they're trying to solve approach this problem with an information advantage over the market." | | Fred Wilson "I was thinking about this today and it occurred to me that the three best VC investments I have made in the last ten years, which are also the three best VC investments I have made in my career, were all syndicated in the first VC round, which was a Series A in all three cases." | | Alex Iskold "Investors want to understand how you are proposing to solve the problem, but more importantly, they are looking if you have unique insight. Has anyone else thought about this before? How is it different from other solutions? Do you have a secret?" | | Mike Brown "This is how you create the foundation of a go-forward development plan for each report that actually allows you to track progress against areas for development. In my experience, you want to lay this foundation early." | |
