Speaking On Starting a Company
53A good friend of mine asked me to speak to his class about starting a Web 2.0 company. His questions are so good I thought I'd share them for you and then cover them in a short series of Hubs.
- What led you to start your own company?
- What was the motivation for the type of business you decided to start?
- How much strategy and planning went into planning the business?
- How did you find and convice your partners to join up with you?
- Brief description of the working conditions of the startup.
- What sort of business plan did you create before seeking outside financing
- How did you go about finding investors? How did go about finding VCs?
- What was the pitch like for you?
- How were valuations first established and how did you determine what was a good deal or not?
- How active is your VC in the daily operations/management?
- What are your thoughts on where web 2.0 is going?
