> "...how many investors can you name who don’t have an active blog?" Six months ago? Zero. Today? Four, off hand. This blog post has some sound advice about evaluating whether your startup should seek outside funding, but it is based on the false premise that the only VC money worth taking comes from the top-tier VC firms like USV, Sequoia, etc. There is a whole world of capital investors outside of the ones you read about in the news. Think of it as venture capital for the 99%. That doesn't mean all startups should take outside money; it only means that you shouldn't believe that just because USV wouldn't invest in your company that no one would.
