Biggest Thing Silicon Valley VCs Know (But don’t say!)

by Larry Chiang on December 11, 2013

By Larry Chiang MBAs not at Cambridge or Palo Alto hate me. Why! I’m sorry I’m not sorry I don’t scale! MBAs, silicon valley VC knowledge can be accessed on my YouTube-ing of 20 VCs doling out knowledge. The #1 thing VCs know is that they won’t fund you so you can build your technology. They won’t fund you so that you can hire a development team. They fund you when (1) execution risk is minimized (2) traction risk is mitigated Risk minimized Risk mitigated is part of RMRMRE If you go to a school I do not lecture at read my hashtags #ReverseVC and #RMRMRE http://www.duck9.com/blog/uncategorized/10-things-silicon-valley-veteran-entrepreneurs-are-frustrated-that-you-dont-already-know/ Also, if you are inviting me to guest lecture, know that I’ll turn that one-hour keynote into a kid student panel. Like I always say: my lectures move you from the back of the room to the front faster than a silicon valley VC pushes a term sheet on a team on engineers who market and sell better than 5 MBA’s doing a pitch deck.
