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.
