| | Damien Lane "So failure is hard, it feels hard. Or maybe failure's the wrong word, because it may not be failure, it's the lack of immediate success, The Struggle." | | Martin Leuw "Have lived the challenge and the pain first hand. In particular, where it relates to the compelling issue(s) their business addresses and have shown how they tackle obstacles. This requires deep sector knowledge." | | Rob Go "TVPI is short for Total Value to Paid In capital multiple. Essentially, it's the total value of the fund's holdings (realized and unrealized) divided by the capital that has been called by the fund (or paid in by the LPs). One can think of this somewhat like a multiple, although it's a little bit different since it also is inclusive of the effect of fees, recycling, etc." | | Aaron Harris "The key point to remember here is that founders should strive for clarity and concision. This is not the right place to write a treatise on your market or world philosophy. The simple truth is that there isn't very much meaningful detail to explore for most seed stage companies. When founders pretend that there is, their stories get muddled, and the investors get lost." | |
