All great advice. However, it's a tad amusing that someone still has to put in the effort to get these points across, points that the rest of the business world would find obvious. Are these business practices still perpetuated in the Valley?

Generate revenue? Of course!

Show the revenue growth slide? I'm not sure who that makes look worse: the fundraisers not showing it, or the investors not expecting it.



Ha yeah I mean my advice isn't exactly revolutionary, but many people don't realize that they're going to need it in their Series A now, when they wouldnt have before


Revenue-less companies in silicon valley regularly get acquired for millions - sometimes hundreds of millions. Does that happen anywhere else?
