Many of us in the industry have had to raise money through “angel investing”. The conventional wisdom is that venture capitalists (VC’s) are only interested in companies that are bigger, or in investment rounds that are in the millions. That’s no longer true. I’m not an expert, but I’ve survived the process and am coming up on one year of running a “portfolio company” of two top-tier VC firms. I’m happy to share what I’ve learned, starting with an overview of corporate financing, but focusing on the VC model.
