Keep in mind that the entrepreneur is writing about his experience of raising the round... on his investor's blog.
I love the guys at True Ventures; they support some great entrepreneurs and some great companies.
But it is also fair to say it's hardly a neutral and unbiased platform from which to communicate all lessons learned from this endeavor.
I think it's a shame the Puppet Labs didn't write this on their own blog, perhaps even personal blog, where a more unbiased and neutral point of view might be given.
- qq66 16y agoIf they had written it on their personal blog, it would have had the perception of being more neutral, but would have been written knowing that their investors would read it. I think this is a more authentic approach.
- jacquesm 16y agoAnything you say and write in public about a running partnership is going to be somewhat colored, regardless of venue. The real story - assuming there are significant enough differences for it to matter - usually only comes out long after the fact. Business relationships are long-running affairs, and being too candid about them can hurt your current relationships and may cause future relationships to never get off the ground. Even today I'd be fairly circumspect writing about experienced from over a decade ago. For one it is a small world, second there are many different viewpoints and what I think happened may not match someone else's recollection and that may cause ruffled feathers.
