Series A Financing: How Much to Raise?

A Wizard reader writes (or I should say "wrote", as this came in almost a month ago):“My product is almost ready to go, it will make money in the early going as the model is pretty straightforward, but we need to raise money in order to scale the business. There are three of us right now. How much money should we raise in an A round, how long should we... (311 天前)

Business Models

It's time to take up that new year's resolution to post more often and crank out my q1 post.There's been some discussion in the tech blogosphere about startups and their need to have a clear business model, and some confusion from entrepreneurs about why it's ok for some businesses not to have known business models when they are expected to show three y...

No Exit

Let’s pull a question from the MBA bin. I’ve spoken a few times to MBA schools that have mistakenly invited me in to talk about starting and running companies, and the question I always get at these events is “what is your exit strategy?”I don’t think you can be very successful, and you certainly won’t be happy, if you are running a business and t...

No Offices

Good question about organizational behavior in startups and office configuration, a topic about which the FeedBurner cofounders have very definite opinions.“Oh great Wizard, what is the ideal office space configuration? Cubes with some private offices, combination of open workspace, cubes, and private offices, or some other crazy configuration?”Yes, ... (311 天前)
