As east coasters with a small size network finding advisers who have dealt with Fortune 500 companies(they surreptitiously reach out to us) has proven challenging. Two months into building our Bluetooth over the web type framework we were invited out to the valley to demo to an entity. Unfortunately, we had no one to turn to who may have said, "Ummm, you might not want to go as they are just fishing," as we learned they were. It would have been great to have heard the same warning you received via your network.
I do wonder if maybe YC and or some founders could write a joint post about their stories and pitfalls in dealing with large to massive companies? I would think this would be extremely helpful to those not in the Valley or within YC.
Well I really appreciate you sharing your experiences in this regards (helpful) and if interested in the app that prompted this post I've sent you a link to your email :-)
