Joe wants to maximize his chances of making a few million dollars in > five years. What should Joe do? > > First off, let's acknowledge once again that Silicon Valley is a sea of > conflicts of interest. You have the Sand Hill Strip, where "reputable" > firms like "Palo Alto Grand Investments" or "Burlingamio Ventures" want Joe > to invest his body and soul, swing for the fences, hit the ball into the > San Francisco Bay and become the next Sergei Zuckerberg. It sounds awesome; > the problem is that the chances of this are slim. Joe does not like. > 1/100000 odds of making billions of dollars is unappealing. > > Still, Joe needs money to make money. He has to pretend to want what VCs > want. He learns to spew lines such as "I want to change the world by > helping people connect faster. My company is to GooBook what the telegraph > was to horses. A quantum leap in virality technology." > ... > Entertaining stuff. Geoff. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Silicon Beach Australia mailing list.
