Reverse VC Pitch Party

I write on “What They Don’t Teach at Stanford Business School”. My most scandalous stuff that BusinessWeek can’t publish is posted here.

Before I’m done, you’ll be a street savvy business exec welding a rolodex of Sand Hill VCs that would make a Stanford b-schooler uber jealous.

I wanna be Mr. ROI.

I wrote about Mr IRR in “9 VC’s You’re Gonna Want To Avoid“. He is not invited to my party.

FYI, host your own entrepreneurial events and invite me… Here is how

- Killer Party Tip #1: I take my ‘fee’ to be sponsorships that I, in turn, give to entrepreneurs. For example, Canaan wanted me to be their Creative Director their Web 2.0 Summit After Party. I took my fee and gave it to VentureBeat to give away to their entrepreneur readers.

- Killer Party Tip #2: I zero out the event which means I do not keep a profit

- Killer Party Tip #3: I do a pre-press reception where I invite tier one tech bloggers

- Killer Party Tip #4: I tip out the staff at the venue because I read the post, “How to Tip, Bribe, Comp and Tip Your Way Past 100 Harvard MBAs”.

- Killer Party Tip #5:  Have a campaign of parties during a conference, like SXSW. The old way was one splash. The new way to control the entire conference using a sequence of events.

Also, I wrote about doing this at TechCrunch. Read it so you can copy my methods to benefit yourself, your start-up and your effort to get sales via events.

I founded  Duck9, which educates college student on credit cards and how to establish a FICO score over 750. I have testified before Congress and World Bank on credit. If you’re in credit, I am speaking at SXSW on the panel, “Broke Diaries”.
