Which VC would want to hear a plan that is not 700% off. If you pitch something real.. you will hear that a VC does not invest in something which does not have the scale..

Sorry, meant Hilton in Paris, AJAX forms are so sluggish – always typos.

Pardon me, but why is Hilton is Paris “selective”? Can’t you just make a reservation? After all it’s not Ritz, and it might be even illegal to deny service.

That’s my favorite! You have to love the optimism of “if we can get just 1%”

Some of the many reasons we choose not to take VC. My company is now thriving while our competitors are dead. All of them took VC. LOL.

You’d be surprised how little money you need when you make good business decisions.

Undoubtedly the largest case of corporate penis envy I’ve ever seen.

The crazy thing is that both sides know it’s a game. I’ve sat on both sides of that conference table numerous times.

When you get experienced investors and experienced entrepreneurs together, it is possible to cut through a lot of the BS. Maybe it’s why both sides show such a noted tendency towards cronyism–if you’re going to trust someone, it might as well be someone you already know and trust.

#17 Our marketing plan primarily involves mom and dad posting glowing reviews under pseudonyms. Over and over again.

Classic stuff. As a former IT start-up impresario, twice over, so much of that rings true. If only we didn’t have to play the game, and didn’t have to go through the motions of pretending to predict the future, more innovations would emerge. I can say this with 95% surety. +/- 5% of course
