Incidentally, potential employees often don't care about this stuff, either.
It's important you have funding enough to pay them, bur dropping names of investors/board members, or sending links to techcrunch articles just doesn't impress.
- Kalium 12y agoI see this sort of name-dropping a lot from recruiters who understand that it impresses those with no startup experience. "We've been on TechCrunch! Sequoia invested in us!"
- JimboOmega 12y agoUggh, yes. I did have one recruiter even excitedly email me tech crunch links over the next few days as they got "more press". I also "enjoy" name dropping like: "Someone on our board was like employee #17 at Amazon! He may have even talked to Jeff Bezos once!"
