Swombat.com is no longer actively maintained, but all the posts here are still available for your use. The original objective was to regularly summarise and comment on the best articles for founders each day, as well as occasionally post our my own thoughts and advice, so that you could read the most useful articles while focusing on building your own startup. As most of the articles in the founders library were selected to be "evergreens", I hope you still find them useful!
A good story and a good point, as is usual from Steve Blank, with the points neatly summarised at the end:
- You see one VC, they see 20 CEO's
- Don't confuse your business with your VC's business
- Your interests are aligned if you both see the same path to liquidity
- Don't confuse being friendly with your VC's with VC's as your friend
