Quote 1:.
Today, Irina Baranskaya heard from me, a half-hour speech about my impressions of the Investor Day Central and Eastern Europe and you I do not write - is philosophical motivation is something more for himself. In short, I have a sense of the General vsemoguchesti and the absence of any doubt that everything will be exactly as we want. We etoBufernaya bay and my projects with a variety of interesting people here in Ukraine.
But what is the mind blowing my head off. He is experienced and angry, he was ready for anything and he has experience - the car. But the thing - they were never caught. About him not write blogs, magazines, and on the AIN. UA or TechCrunchne will be about the success of its annual news. But will the news about the guy who caught the investor from Switzerland or the Netherlands for a beard. T. e. I understand why it is the newspapers and blogs, but it does not look like it all a farce and a subspecies of show business, in which all earn good money? .
Interested in all your opinions, especially Artur Orujaliev and Denis Dovgopoliy and everyone who turns in the market startups.
Thank Baranskii.
The answer.
Quote 2.
Why I do not like to raise venture capital money. You have to stop business, spend your time, spend their money in order to get more money razmoyut your share. Yegorych Anchishkin.
Folk wisdom:.
Venture capital money - the most expensive, you have to pay a high price, you give away equity.
Glory, not for you first, do not you raise this last.
question. My answer to you, based on the fact that it read more.
There are two categories of people who are not investors, but is actively involved in the technology business ( except for the developers and engineers).
The first of these ... The most common problem they have to raise ... They are as far from the business, as I have from the world of ballet. They are so easy to dispose of equity precisely because they do not believe in yourself that will make money, and they tend to get money to live happily ever after year. I'll bet that those in the industry to meet these very often.
The second, more interesting. It's entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurs build their own business and use the resources they need. Most often, they need two resources add value ( communication, experience, understanding, vision) or money. In the technology business - from smart investors attached to the second first, and then get the money from the right hand - a great success. Technology market - a very dynamic and very competitive. Tell me, who quickly build a product, a team of enthusiasts consisting of three people ( no more money) or the super pros team of 20 people, with strong product, marketing, sales, bizdevami and budgets? . Which is used and this is one of the precursors of success (but nedinstvenny!!). For this reason, employers raise their financing to the extent that they need (and more!). After receiving it from serious and experienced investors, they are trying to advertise it as widely as possible, as this will ensure the loyalty of customers and partners, and competitors will plunge into despondency.
Well, no businessman in his right mind would not raise money if they do not need it.
But when startups raises money in the market say ' A sinyor Leonidas found dupes and wants them to cheat? ' . This is what you wanted to say thank?.
Well, again. Glory, go to the operating profit - quite different than the project scale. Build a business model - it is very important, and to be able to scale, scale quickly, so as not to give competitors a chance - it is business sense. Surely you have many friends who were able to create a project, which began to earn 10k bucks a month for internet, but six months later failed to keep the market. And the people who were able to build a business and sell it for an amount at least six zeros, it is quite another matter. Make a leap without finansovgo shoulder most of the ' hard ' to ' impossible '. And the people who are not attracted to the critical moments of the right of the investor holds are weaklings. Just like people who are attracted to money when you can do without them.
