    Well my friend the worst part of it is that valuation and the reasons for investment don’t necessarily match what you are putting together.

    While ideally investments are always made based upon barriers to entry, strength of team, potential/projected ROI and valuation the decisions are often made for reasons such as the “me too” investment strategy or “I wanna be cool” process or the always interesting “they have someone I’d like to target for my next fund”.

    While I have had the pleasure of working with a fund that does it right, many do not. They make decisions for the wrong reasons and valuation is a joke.
    The magic formula is “this is what we like to invest and where we need to be in the cap table for that investment”. So the numbers may move a bit, but not far.

    I wish you luck and if there is anything I can do to help please let me know. As a serial entrepreneur who has had the opportunity to sit on both sides I find it quite rewarding to ease the pain of the next guy/gal.

    Good luck!
    David

Have you ever wondered… Why every industry has only a few businesses that thrive and get more leads? And they don’t suffer from cash flow problems or lack of leads, even when there is an ‘economic downturn’. They don’t have to ‘push’ or make stacks of cold calls.
