The StartUp Two-Step
I found out yesterday that it's really good exercise when you're put on the spot in front the managing partner of a large VC fund and given 2 minutes to encapsulate your whole business and why in the hell he should be interested.
Apparently, it was good enough to get a business card and a "I'm traveling for about 10 days, follow up with me after that."
We may or may not do business with this particular fund, (my gut says probably not) but in any case it was an awesome experience and test to find out if we really do have our stuff together.
The answer to that is a resounding "YES."
As a matter of fact, out of a room full of web 2.0 startups, we definitely felt and came off as the guys doing "something really different," and that alone was worth a lot.
This Friday I'm officially done at the day job to focus on Vino Veritas full time, and as my partner Larry likes to say, time to "Let us Go Forth and Slay Dragons."
Ya man, let's go.
