They like to get their money back. Having your capital tied up for another decade, to achieve only a few percentage points higher returns is not attractive to most angels.<br /><br />Also, angels suffer dilution in additional financing rounds; which are getting larger.<br /><br /><img class="qtext_image" src="http://d2o7bfz2il9cb7.cloudfront.net/main-qimg-adf74678f356e4eb9eb471d7a6c02595" title="Click to Enlarge" style="cursor: pointer" master_src="http://d2o7bfz2il9cb7.cloudfront.net/main-qimg-78b15b8626e7b07fc048cd202701bb9e" master_w="500" master_h="375" /><br />VCs do not want to &quot;hear about exits&quot; because the median exit for a VC company is now a decade into the future after the round closes.<br /><br />Therefore angels should have a preference for investing in companies that can undergo and M&amp;A or become profitable, without VC. However, many investors do not have data or experience needed to understand how requiring VC can affect returns and the period that capital is held up in the investment.<br /><br />Many angel investors have suffered in previous companies when VC investors come in. Convertible debt caps are renegotiated and minority shareholders are often treated adversely by institutional investors. Taking on VC also tends to increase the time to exit.<br /><br />Many angels add value early in the company; by bringing in customers, helping to recruit employees, financing early expenses and giving feedback on the product. Then after the institutional investors come in, they sometimes say &quot;These minority investors are no longer &#039;adding value&#039;&quot; and the minority investors are treated badly in subsequent financing rounds. For instance, by being stripped of their participation rights in subsequent rounds.<br /><br />Early stage PE investors do not make money by generating 30% returns on each investment. Early stage VCs need to invest in companies that can &quot;return the fund&quot;. This means they would rather see a company fail with 80% probability and 20% chance of returning the fund, rather than see an early exit at less than 3x returns.<br /><br />Companies that defer profitability or exit until the VC stage entails an additional layer of risk, beyond the high failure rate of pre-series A companies.<br /><br />For instance, VC funding heightens the risk of down rounds that may wipe out minority shareholders and founders. Many of the highest returns in the VC asset class were generated by companies that went through &quot;washout&quot; rounds.<br /><br />So in general, angels should prefer to make investments in companies that do not require VC to achieve profitability or an exit. In practice, this may not be true however because not all angels are making rational investment decisions which are informed by analysis of the exit data,<br /><br />For more information, see<br /><br /><b>Early Exits: Exit Strategies for Entrepreneurs and Angel Investors </b><u><a href="http://amzn.to/eMqrJE" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" class="external_link">http://amzn.to/<wbr />eMqrJE</a></u><div class="action_bar" id="__w2_zzhFO23_answer_actions"><span id="ld_OtEogM_947"><a class="view_comments supp " href="#" id="__w2_Un1QT0F_view_comment_link">Add Comment</a></span><span class="bullet"> &bull;

People in their early thirties tend to be on their third or fourth company and still have not achieved an exit yet.<br /><br />Also, many people who &quot;Succeed&quot; early on seem to spend all their money and are not successful at 30. Many people have flipped web-applications for 1 to 3 million in their early 20s and most of them do not know how to invest. Many people live above their level of income and end up spending the money by the time they are 30. The natural tendency of most Americans is towards debt (negative savings rate).<br /><br />Most of the people I have met who were successful in their 20s, were unsuccessful by the time they were in their thirties. This may constitute the majority of people who are &quot;successful&quot; in their 20s, although I am sure there are exceptions.<br /><br />One person built a successful social game and started to make several hundred thousand dollars a year overnight. However, instead of focusing on what made him successful, he was buying cars and traveling and his competitors annihilated his company and he lost his revenue source.<br /><br />Financial success begets laziness. Laziness begets failure.

Nearly every software company in every industry was violating these patents, until the patent expired.<br /><br />Arithmetic encoding was patented, several times, despite being prior art. You would not even know if you were violating the patent because the patent filers just changed the name of the algorithm from the prior art (but kept the algorithm and probability model the same).<br /><br />US Patent 4286256, US Patent 4295125, US Patent 4463342, US Patent 4467317, US Patent 4633490, US Patent 4652856, US Patent 4891643,US Patent 4905297, US Patent 4935882, US Patent 4973961, US Patent 5023611, US Patent 5025258<br /><br /><b>EVERYTHING is patented in software.

The problem is similar to the problem of distributed databases or the problem of distributed state across multiple machines.<br /><br />I have n-computers with copies of the same piece of data. Each computer is modifying the local copy of the data and sending changes to the other computers. Assume computer 1 modifies data item 5 and then transmit change to computer 2, but before computer 2 receives the delta from computer 1, computer 2 also modifies data item 5. Then the delta is applied against data item 5 on computer 2 and now computer 1 and 2 are no longer in sync. They have different databases that are no longer syncronized.<br /><br />If the data operations commute (in the sense of group theory), then the first computer will go back into sync with computer 2, when computer 1 receives the delta from computer 2. You can treat operations on the state of data as a semi-group. If the operations do not commute (if the database state depends on the order the delta operations are applied), the the two databases will be out of sync.<br /><br />This problem does not occur in MySQL master-slave arrangements because deltas only go from the master to the slave and not in both directions.<br /><br />The following problem occurs; how do we get the two databases synced up again? How do we resolve the non-communititvity of the data operations?<br /><br />For a mathematical treatment, see<br /><br /><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%CE%A0-calculus" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" class="external_link">http://en.wikipedia.org/w<wbr />iki/%CE...</a><br /> <br />Notice that the operations on two different rows of a database commute. However two operations on the same row (such as setting the row to a value) do not usually do commute. Two increment or decrement operations commute.<br /><br />One method is to create a partial ordering on all data-operations and ensure that operations are applied to the data in a way that respects the partial ordering. Creating the partial ordered time stamps in a distributed system is closely related to &quot;clock synchronization problem&quot;. One solution to creating a partial ordering of events in a distributed system is called &quot;vector clocks&quot;<br /><br /><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector_clocks" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" class="external_link">http://en.wikipedia.org/w<wbr />iki/Vec...</a><br /><br />Note: a variation of vector clocks can be used for distributed versioning of data objects. In a distributed setting, using a simple version counter does not make sense. You often need a versioning method to determine whether the client has the same version of the document as the server (so that server can only retransmit diffs or transactions instead of retransmitting the whole document). In the non-distributed setting a version counter is sufficient Lazy people building distributed system who do not want to impose a partial ordering on their document versions often just use a hash of the document (git uses this approach).<br /><br />A an simpler approach to resolve conflicts is to have a single computer act as the &quot;canonical state&quot; (very similar to a master-slave arrangement, with operations being performed on central server and changes being relayed back to the clients), with that computer resolving conflicts between the deltas. There are a number of algorithms and techniques for doing this and it is a similar problem to resolving merge conflicts in a distributed version control system like Mercurial. If two delta are applied to the same data item at the same time by two different clients, the master server can invalidate the second delta to arrive. This only occurs when multiple clients/users are modifying the same area of the data and there are &#039;merge conflicts&#039; between the two diffs. Applications like etherpad have to resolve merge conflicts in real-time, often by discarding the inputs or modifications made by a particular client.<br /><br />The &quot;canonical state&quot; approach works very well for web applications, is simplier than a true p2p approach (which is not possible over http, for technological reasons). There are &quot;stateless&quot; and &quot;state full&quot; protocols in the sense that a state full protocol requires the server may need to keep track of client information, such as the current version of the document each client has in memory.<br /><br />An even simpler (and less satisfactory) approach is to given each client a token and invalidate diffs from all clients except the one with the token. This model is &quot;everyone can modify the data, but only one person can be modifying it at a given time&quot;.<br /><br />Etherpad is &quot;online&quot; in the sense that clients cannot disappear for weeks and then come back and submit diffs from days ago. This simplifies the problem significantly. However, the problem is complicated by real-time nature of Etherpad.<br /><br />For instance, HTML does not have server to client messages. Therefore it is difficult for the server to push changes to the client as changes occur to the document. HTML clients must poll, use long polling, flash or WebSockets.<br /><br />If the client is only polling once every 2 seconds, then all deltas will arrive in 2 second intervals and be applied in batches. Changes occur in lumps instead of in natural key-by-key sequences. One way to mitigate this is to time stamp deltas and replay them on the client. This makes typing appear nature and gives the illusion that the client is updating as the keys are coming in, even if the changes are only applied 2-4 seconds after the initial key press on the original client. Time stamped deltas also enable correction for variance in client-server latency.<br /><br />There are 4 operations an Etherpad type application is communicating from client to server are,<br /><br />1&gt; Add character<br />2&gt; Delete character<br />3&gt; Add Line of Characters<br />4&gt; Delete line of characters<br /><br />A challenge on the UI client side is keeping the scroll bar position constant as text is added/removed. This is more of a problem for longer documents (google docs) than it is for Etherpad, which tends to be used for shorter documents.<br /><br />Building an Etherpad type applications is not difficult, it is just very nuanced.<div class="action_bar" id="__w2_xDKA8Z8_answer_actions"><span id="ld_OtEogM_983"><a class="view_comments supp " href="#" id="__w2_oWb42kP_view_comment_link">Add Comment</a></span><span class="bullet"> &bull; </span><span id="ld_OtEogM_984"><a class="answer_permalink" href="/What-is-hard-about-making-something-like-EtherPad/answer/Brandon-Smietana"><span class="datetime" id="__w2_bOM16wa_datespan">Insert a dynamic date here</span></a><span id="ld_OtEogM_1070"></span></span></div><div id="ld_OtEogM_985"><div class="comments answer_comments hidden" id="__w2_EhdpxMZ_answer_comments"><div id="ld_OtEogM_1130"><span id="ld_OtEogM_1157"><div class="comment p0_5"><small><a class="light" href="/What-is-hard-about-making-something-like-EtherPad/all_comments/Brandon-Smietana">View All 0 Comments</a></small></div></span></div><div class="comment light p0_5">Cannot add comment at this time.</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div class="pagedlist_item" id="ld_OtEogM_870"><div class="feed_item stream_feed_item p1" id="__w2_k7n3Q29_item"><div class="e_col w4_5"><div id="ld_OtEogM_898"><div class="feed_item_question"><h2><span id="ld_OtEogM_931"><span id="ld_OtEogM_1098"></span><a class="question_link" href="/In-a-two-person-team-should-one-person-be-in-charge-of-the-features-and-product-strategy" id="__w2_esgpyii_link"><span id="ld_OtEogM_1099"></span>In a two person team, should one person be in charge of the features and product strategy?</a></span></h2></div></div><div id="ld_OtEogM_899"><div class="feed_item_answer answer_text" id="__w2_d5WVFXY_answer"><div class="rating_buttons"><div id="__w2_d5WVFXY_answer_voting"><div id="ld_OtEogM_986"><div class="rating_buttons"><div class="rating_options" id="__w2_perjYqE_buttons"><a class="lil_button rate_up" href="#" id="__w2_perjYqE_answer_vote_up_link">&nbsp;</a><a class="lil_button rate_down" href="#" id="__w2_perjYqE_answer_vote_down_link">&nbsp;</a></div></div></div></div></div><div class="feed_item_answer_content answer_content" id="__w2_d5WVFXY_answer_wrapper"><div class="answer_user"><span class="feed_item_answer_user" id="__w2_d5WVFXY_answer_user_sig"><a class="user" href="/Brandon-Smietana">Brandon Smietana</a><span class="rep">, </span><span id="__w2_N0ZeCbN_link"><span class="rep">Founder of Symbolic Analytics</span></span><div class="hover_menu hidden" style="display: none" id="__w2_N0ZeCbN_menu"><div class="hover_menu_nub"></div><div class="menu_contents growl_notification" id="__w2_N0ZeCbN_menu_contents"> </div></div></span><div id="__w2_d5WVFXY_answer_voters"><div id="ld_OtEogM_987"><span class="answer_voters"><span class="answer_voter_callout"><strong class="voter_count">13</strong> votes</span> by <a class="user" href="/Michiel-van-Vlaardingen">Michiel van Vlaardingen</a>, <a class="user" href="/Cameron-A.-Ellis">Cameron A.

Someone has to have a final say on the product.&quot;<br /><br />In many startups the &quot;business person&quot; tries to make all product decisions and expects the technical co-founder to just focus on building the product. For some reason, most companies structured like this seem to fail. Developers in this position are often micromanaged and nagged to death or alienated. Even if the company is successful at launching a product, or raising money, they have difficulty expanding the team and lack the core management team needed for expansion.<br /><br />Developers I have spoken to who have worked as technical cofounders with an autocratic technical cofounder often describe the experience as similar to working for a bad client. Successful team where the developer was not heavily involved with the product design and customer are rare.<br /><br />Different people have different leadership and communication styles.<br /><br />Some people are more democratic and will accept input from others and defer to their expertise. Other people have a more autocratic communication style and will insist upon making all the decisions in the organization.<br /><br />I believe that decisions in an organization should be made by the people with the 1&gt; information and 2&gt; expertise to best make then decision.<br /><br />Saying &quot;one person needs to be responsible&quot; or &quot;each person much have a well defined fiefdom&quot; is conceptually simple but sacrifices organizational performance for simplicity in organizational structure. Saying &quot;this person is responsible for marketing, and he is responsible for technology&quot; divides decision marketing by roles.<br /><br />As an example, a hypothetical modern internet marketing campaign might require twitter/facebook integration with a web application, analytics functionality measuring the effectiveness of the marketing technique and A/B testing to optimize the marketing technique. Is this marketing campaign &quot;responsibility&quot; of engineering or the responsibility of marketing? Achieving even simple corporate goals requires behavior and decision making which cut across firm boundaries and roles.<br /><br />&quot;Responsibilities&quot; and &quot;decision making authority&quot; in an effective organization are delegated on the basis by expertise and knowledge, rather than by functional roles.<br /><br />You have to ask<br />1&gt; Which person or group has the knowledge to best make this decision<br />2&gt; Who has the expertise to make this decision<br /><br />On matters of design, defer decisions to a designer.<br /><br />Often a decision cuts across functional boundaries. A product feature decision requires<br /><br />1&gt; An conceptualization of the customer/user<br />2&gt; Ability to estimate the engineering complexity of the feature<br />3&gt; A set of criteria against which to evaluate the decision being made (what are the goals of the organization? Increase LTV, customer acquisition, reducing churn rates, etc...<br /><br />The first is a product manager/ customer development role. The second is an engineering role. The third is an executive role. It is the role of the executive to set organizational goals and define the criteria against which decisions will be judged.<br /><br />Decisions will be best made when the expertise (product/company Independent) and knowledge (product/company specific) required to make the decision are possessed by a single person. In the absence of an ubermensch who has broad company/product specific knowledge and an extremely high level of skill/expertise in multiple domains, decisions will be made by groups.<br /><br />MBA: &quot;I think that I am open to learning from others, but everyone else should just do what I say.&quot;<div class="action_bar" id="__w2_d5WVFXY_answer_actions"><span id="ld_OtEogM_989"><a class="view_comments supp " href="#" id="__w2_y5pbKwV_view_comment_link">1 Comment</a></span><span class="bullet"> &bull; </span><span id="ld_OtEogM_990"><a class="answer_permalink" href="/In-a-two-person-team-should-one-person-be-in-charge-of-the-features-and-product-strategy/answer/Brandon-Smietana"><span class="datetime" id="__w2_vGR97CI_datespan">Insert a dynamic date here</span></a><span id="ld_OtEogM_1071"></span></span></div><div id="ld_OtEogM_991"><div class="comments answer_comments hidden" id="__w2_r5kfClG_answer_comments"><div id="ld_OtEogM_1131"><div id="ld_OtEogM_1158"><a name="comment276440"></a><div class="comment p0_5 br5 featured_comment" id="__w2_tIoYf1J_comment"><div class="comment_contents"><p class="comment_text">Also, one of these two people should be a paramedic or at least have first aid training because someone just got BURNED.</p><p class="action_bar"><a class="user" href="/Yishan-Wong">Yishan Wong</a><span class="bullet"> &bull; </span><span class="datetime" id="__w2_EeSEBKO_datespan">Insert a dynamic date here</span></p></div></div></div><span id="ld_OtEogM_1159"><div class="comment p0_5"><small><a class="light" href="/In-a-two-person-team-should-one-person-be-in-charge-of-the-features-and-product-strategy/all_comments/Brandon-Smietana">View 1 Comment</a></small></div></span></div><div class="comment light p0_5">Cannot add comment at this time.</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div class="pagedlist_item" id="ld_OtEogM_871"><div class="feed_item stream_feed_item p1" id="__w2_CA7zBNy_item"><div class="e_col w4_5"><div id="ld_OtEogM_900"><div class="feed_item_question"><h2><span id="ld_OtEogM_932"><span id="ld_OtEogM_1100"></span><a class="question_link" href="/What-are-some-of-the-best-books-on-behavioral-investing" id="__w2_Z4sH8om_link"><span id="ld_OtEogM_1101"></span>What are some of the best books on behavioral investing?</a></span></h2></div></div><div id="ld_OtEogM_901"><div class="feed_item_answer answer_text" id="__w2_DT7ajdN_answer"><div class="rating_buttons"><div id="__w2_DT7ajdN_answer_voting"><div id="ld_OtEogM_992"><div class="rating_buttons"><div class="rating_options" id="__w2_cvRPiNo_buttons"><a class="lil_button rate_up" href="#" id="__w2_cvRPiNo_answer_vote_up_link">&nbsp;</a><a class="lil_button rate_down" href="#" id="__w2_cvRPiNo_answer_vote_down_link">&nbsp;</a></div></div></div></div></div><div class="feed_item_answer_content answer_content" id="__w2_DT7ajdN_answer_wrapper"><div class="answer_user"><span class="feed_item_answer_user" id="__w2_DT7ajdN_answer_user_sig"><a class="user" href="/Brandon-Smietana">Brandon Smietana</a><span class="rep">, </span><span id="__w2_gmHQCiX_link"><span class="rep">Founder of Symbolic Analytics</span></span><div class="hover_menu hidden" style="display: none" id="__w2_gmHQCiX_menu"><div class="hover_menu_nub"></div><div class="menu_contents growl_notification" id="__w2_gmHQCiX_menu_contents"> </div></div></span><div id="__w2_DT7ajdN_answer_voters"><div id="ld_OtEogM_993"></div></div></div><div id="ld_OtEogM_994"></div>These books are deceptively titled, but are actually about behavior finance.<br /><br /><b>Inside the Investor&#039;s Brain: The Power of Mind Over Money</b> <a href="http://amzn.to/eNwqkV" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" class="external_link">http://amzn.to/eNwq<wbr />kV</a><br /><br /><b>MarketPsych: How to Manage Fear and Build Your Investor Identity </b><a href="http://amzn.to/hytSiB" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" class="external_link">http://amzn.to/h<wbr />ytSiB</a><div class="action_bar" id="__w2_DT7ajdN_answer_actions"><span id="ld_OtEogM_995"><a class="view_comments supp " href="#" id="__w2_QX5SPQQ_view_comment_link">4 Comments</a></span><span class="bullet"> &bull; </span><span id="ld_OtEogM_996"><a class="answer_permalink" href="/What-are-some-of-the-best-books-on-behavioral-investing/answer/Brandon-Smietana"><span class="datetime" id="__w2_B6gpXm6_datespan">Insert a dynamic date here</span></a><span id="ld_OtEogM_1072"></span></span></div><div id="ld_OtEogM_997"><div class="comments answer_comments hidden" id="__w2_ZN6R8Jn_answer_comments"><div id="ld_OtEogM_1132"><div id="ld_OtEogM_1160"><a name="comment267015"></a><div class="comment p0_5 br5 featured_comment" id="__w2_qV5YBJU_comment"><div class="comment_contents"><p class="comment_text">Has anyone actually shown consistently higher returns using behavioral investing?

Many investors do not have enough cash to build a diversified angel portfolio. If you remove the 1-2 top returning companies in a 30 company portfolio, the rate of return goes to zero.<br /><br />Most investors are also suffer adverse selection and many of the prime companies are increasing going through groups like Angel List or are syndicated among a very small group of &#039;super angel&#039; investors.<br /><br />The best model I have seen, is for high profile investors or network hubs to receive cheap/free equity for allowing the companies to put that person&#039;s name on their advisor board. The people on the advisor board then try to push the company on angels in their network.<br /><br />This strategy seems to work very well for certain people, both in LA and in SV.<br /><br />&quot;Active Investors&quot; who can generate early customers for a company or who can recruit capital or employees are also in a position to extract cheap/free equity and build a diversified portfolio.<br /><br />In general, investing human capital is better for both the investor and the company and produces better returns to the investor than putting money in the company. The best way to create angel investors is to increase the opportunities for entrepreneurs to network with the wider community of companies and people.<div class="action_bar" id="__w2_MMvCQs0_answer_actions"><span id="ld_OtEogM_1001"><a class="view_comments supp " href="#" id="__w2_kr30mwT_view_comment_link">Add Comment</a></span><span class="bullet"> &bull; </span><span id="ld_OtEogM_1002"><a class="answer_permalink" href="/What-are-some-good-ways-to-get-new-angel-investors-into-the-market/answer/Brandon-Smietana"><span class="datetime" id="__w2_c8YerHs_datespan">Insert a dynamic date here</span></a><span id="ld_OtEogM_1073"></span></span></div><div id="ld_OtEogM_1003"><div class="comments answer_comments hidden" id="__w2_ihlJOAr_answer_comments"><div id="ld_OtEogM_1133"><span id="ld_OtEogM_1165"><div class="comment p0_5"><small><a class="light" href="/What-are-some-good-ways-to-get-new-angel-investors-into-the-market/all_comments/Brandon-Smietana">View All 0 Comments</a></small></div></span></div><div class="comment light p0_5">Cannot add comment at this time.</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div class="pagedlist_item" id="ld_OtEogM_873"><div class="feed_item stream_feed_item p1" id="__w2_xT0qj0Y_item"><div class="e_col w4_5"><div id="ld_OtEogM_904"><div class="feed_item_question"><h2><span id="ld_OtEogM_934"><span id="ld_OtEogM_1104"></span><a class="question_link" href="/I-believe-that-VC-is-for-lesser-men-Are-my-ideals-self-defeating" id="__w2_F0nYeZD_link"><span id="ld_OtEogM_1105"></span>I believe that VC is for lesser men.

Less than 10% of companies that IPO took on early stage private equity. Approximately 70% of companies that IPO took on private equity investment at some point (mostly in late stage &#039;growth private equity&#039;).<br /><br />Walmart was in a highly capital intensive industry with low margins and never required venture capital. For profitable companies with positive cash flows, bank loans may have a lower cost of capital compared to selling equity.<br /><br />Early stage venture capital is a &quot;Silicon Valley&quot; thing and most successful entrepreneurs build their companies without VCs.<br /><br />By the time your company has enough customers to have easy access to venture capital, most companies will not need it anymore. If you are in an industry like software, which low has capital costs and 100% margins, then VC may not be appropriate for you.<br /><br />Most successful companies do not achieve the scale required to return liquidity to their investors and therefore venture capital is not appropriate for the majority of entrepreneurs and their companies. Building a 15 million dollar a year consulting company that throws of a few million a year in profits is great for the founder, but not an appropriate target for VC investment.<br /><br />In some industries, building out the sales distribution channel is more expensive than building the product and VC may be appropriate.<br /><br />In general, people are too willing to take on outside investment, even if they do not need it and have no use for it. I spoke with a social game CEO who has a profitable flash games company. He had VC money shoved down his throat. He said &quot;I dont regret taking VC, but I regret spending the money.&quot;<br /><br />I would recommend reading,<br /><br /><b>Raising Venture Capital for the Serious Entrepreneur </b><a href="http://amzn.to/hPdFp0" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" class="external_link">http://amzn.<wbr />to/hPdFp0</a><br /><br />Do not let anyone in Silicon Valley tell you that you are not a real company if you do not take on venture capital. VC funded companies make the news and people gossip about valuations.

If you are an iphone photosharing application; then slow means you can only survive for as long as venture capitalists are willing to pump more money into the company.<br /><br />Even if the company exits at $250 million in ten years, the liquidation preferences for the preferred will be piled so high that there will be nothing left for the employees and management (like Slide).<br /><br />Digg had 15 million a year in revenue at peak, but have never been profitable. Then traffic fell by 50% after the user numbers peaked.<br /><br />A &quot;slow&quot; company can make money for the founders, but only if they achieve a high valuation and sell off common stock to investors (etc. &quot;take money off the table&quot;). Otherwise the only way a company without revenues can generate returns for its investors is if it is flipped.<br /><br />A &quot;slow company&quot; does not make sense if backed by venture capital, because the fund partners need to show returns to their LPs within a 15 year period. If the company does a secondary sale and early investors sell their stake to new investors, then maybe a &quot;slow company&quot; could exist.<br /><br />As an investment, I am not sure that a &quot;slow company&quot; makes any sense.<br /><br />By &quot;slow company&quot;, what they mean is &quot;We will build a bunch of crap and something will be successful eventually&quot;. The idea of a &quot;slow company&quot; is probably just a way of putting off pressure to show revenues and traction early in the company&#039;s history.<br /><br />Many successful companies (Paypal, Slide, etc...) were started by entrepreneurs who had no idea what they were doing and who changed markets and products several times.<br /><br />If the private equity bubble pops again, the &quot;slow companies&quot; without revenues are going to be the ones who are hit the hardest.<div class="action_bar" id="__w2_ztTABx8_answer_actions"><span id="ld_OtEogM_1043"><a class="view_comments supp " href="#" id="__w2_x97yX8g_view_comment_link">Add Comment</a></span><span class="bullet"> &bull; </span><span id="ld_OtEogM_1044"><a class="answer_permalink" href="/Will-Dave-Morins-slow-product-movement-be-successful/answer/Brandon-Smietana"><span class="datetime" id="__w2_a6ND1aH_datespan">Insert a dynamic date here</span></a><span id="ld_OtEogM_1080"></span></span></div><div id="ld_OtEogM_1045"><div class="comments answer_comments hidden" id="__w2_rqYyPms_answer_comments"><div id="ld_OtEogM_1140"><span id="ld_OtEogM_1175"><div class="comment p0_5"><small><a class="light" href="/Will-Dave-Morins-slow-product-movement-be-successful/all_comments/Brandon-Smietana">View All 0 Comments</a></small></div></span></div><div class="comment light p0_5">Cannot add comment at this time.</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div class="pagedlist_item" id="ld_OtEogM_880"><div class="feed_item stream_feed_item p1" id="__w2_PLJONeU_item"><div class="e_col w4_5"><div id="ld_OtEogM_918"><div class="feed_item_question"><h2><span id="ld_OtEogM_941"><span id="ld_OtEogM_1118"></span><a class="question_link" href="/If-you-are-an-investor-for-an-early-stage-company-do-you-place-more-value-on-1MM-unique-visitor-or-the-ability-to-convert-at-5-but-only-1000-customers" id="__w2_FYKwyMV_link"><span id="ld_OtEogM_1119"></span>If you are an investor for an early stage company, do you place more value on 1MM unique visitor or the ability to convert at 5%+ but only 1000 customers?</a></span></h2></div></div><div id="ld_OtEogM_919"><div class="feed_item_answer answer_text" id="__w2_ubEQFko_answer"><div class="rating_buttons"><div id="__w2_ubEQFko_answer_voting"><div id="ld_OtEogM_1046"><div class="rating_buttons"><div class="rating_options" id="__w2_Vi0GFbo_buttons"><a class="lil_button rate_up" href="#" id="__w2_Vi0GFbo_answer_vote_up_link">&nbsp;</a><a class="lil_button rate_down" href="#" id="__w2_Vi0GFbo_answer_vote_down_link">&nbsp;</a></div></div></div></div></div><div class="feed_item_answer_content answer_content" id="__w2_ubEQFko_answer_wrapper"><div class="answer_user"><span class="feed_item_answer_user" id="__w2_ubEQFko_answer_user_sig"><a class="user" href="/Brandon-Smietana">Brandon Smietana</a><span class="rep">, </span><span id="__w2_eXvwPac_link"><span class="rep">Founder of Symbolic Analytics</span></span><div class="hover_menu hidden" style="display: none" id="__w2_eXvwPac_menu"><div class="hover_menu_nub"></div><div class="menu_contents growl_notification" id="__w2_eXvwPac_menu_contents"> </div></div></span><div id="__w2_ubEQFko_answer_voters"><div id="ld_OtEogM_1047"><span class="answer_voters"><span class="answer_voter_callout"><strong class="voter_count">2</strong> votes</span> by <a class="user" href="/J.C.-Hewitt">J.C.

As soon as you can get your cost per customer acquisition below the LTV of your users, you can scale up through display advertising and search advertising channels.<br /><br />Having a repeatable customer acquisition process is more important than the total number of users. Having a CAC below your LTV shows your investors that you have something to spend money on.<br /><br />If you cannot monetize (ex. Twitter), then having a large number of users is the only alternative.<br /><br />If you can convert users, the next thing you want to do is to try different user acquisition channels and determine what is effective for your business. It is more difficult to acquire users profitably at scale without revenues to reinvest into customer acquisition channels.<br /><br />I do not believe that the answer is one or the other. It depends on your customer acquisition channels and depends on whether your channel is SEO or display advertising. Conversion rates do not matter as much for SEO traffic, which is effectively free; where as conversion rates are critical to optimize if your traffic is display or search advertising driven, because increases conversion rates will lower you CAC.<br /><br />Improving your product will improve churn rates.<br />Decreasing churn rates will increase LTV for subscription service<br />Improving your conversion rates will improve (decrease) your CAC<br /><br />What matter is not &quot;conversion rates&quot; or &quot;number of users&quot;, but &quot;number of new users times conversion rate&quot;, because that is the rate of user-base growth. You can either improve the conversion rate or you can improve the number of user coming into customer acquisition channel, but the rate of user growth will be the arithmetic product of those two variables.<div class="action_bar" id="__w2_ubEQFko_answer_actions"><span id="ld_OtEogM_1049"><a class="view_comments supp " href="#" id="__w2_x6SjsBs_view_comment_link">Add Comment</a></span><span class="bullet"> &bull; </span><span id="ld_OtEogM_1050"><a class="answer_permalink" href="/If-you-are-an-investor-for-an-early-stage-company-do-you-place-more-value-on-1MM-unique-visitor-or-the-ability-to-convert-at-5-but-only-1000-customers/answer/Brandon-Smietana"><span class="datetime" id="__w2_ICRXDz8_datespan">Insert a dynamic date here</span></a><span id="ld_OtEogM_1081"></span></span></div><div id="ld_OtEogM_1051"><div class="comments answer_comments hidden" id="__w2_nqlg7GQ_answer_comments"><div id="ld_OtEogM_1141"><span id="ld_OtEogM_1176"><div class="comment p0_5"><small><a class="light" href="/If-you-are-an-investor-for-an-early-stage-company-do-you-place-more-value-on-1MM-unique-visitor-or-the-ability-to-convert-at-5-but-only-1000-customers/all_comments/Brandon-Smietana">View All 0 Comments</a></small></div></span></div><div class="comment light p0_5">Cannot add comment at this time.</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div class="pagedlist_item" id="ld_OtEogM_881"><div class="feed_item stream_feed_item p1" id="__w2_rYHJzQi_item"><div class="e_col w4_5"><div id="ld_OtEogM_920"><div class="feed_item_question"><h2><span id="ld_OtEogM_942"><span id="ld_OtEogM_1120"></span><a class="question_link" href="/How-do-I-create-a-social-life-after-college-that-rivals-or-is-better-than-the-average-college-social-life" id="__w2_xVDosFe_link"><span id="ld_OtEogM_1121"></span>How do I create a social life after college that rivals or is better than the average college social life?</a></span></h2></div></div><div id="ld_OtEogM_921"><div class="feed_item_answer answer_text" id="__w2_CwLood7_answer"><div class="rating_buttons"><div id="__w2_CwLood7_answer_voting"><div id="ld_OtEogM_1052"><div class="rating_buttons"><div class="rating_options" id="__w2_zBYCAHh_buttons"><a class="lil_button rate_up" href="#" id="__w2_zBYCAHh_answer_vote_up_link">&nbsp;</a><a class="lil_button rate_down" href="#" id="__w2_zBYCAHh_answer_vote_down_link">&nbsp;</a></div></div></div></div></div><div class="feed_item_answer_content answer_content" id="__w2_CwLood7_answer_wrapper"><div class="answer_user"><span class="feed_item_answer_user" id="__w2_CwLood7_answer_user_sig"><a class="user" href="/Brandon-Smietana">Brandon Smietana</a><span class="rep">, </span><span id="__w2_K4bPeYH_link"><span class="rep">Founder of Symbolic Analytics</span></span><div class="hover_menu hidden" style="display: none" id="__w2_K4bPeYH_menu"><div class="hover_menu_nub"></div><div class="menu_contents growl_notification" id="__w2_K4bPeYH_menu_contents"> </div></div></span><div id="__w2_CwLood7_answer_voters"><div id="ld_OtEogM_1053"><span class="answer_voters"><span class="answer_voter_callout"><strong class="voter_count">7</strong> votes</span> by <span id="__w2_RPRimMq_view_all"><a class="user" href="/Aaron-Chiu">Aaron Chiu</a>, <a class="user" href="/Ian-Peters-Campbell">Ian Peters-Campbell</a>, <a class="user" href="/J.C.-Hewitt">J.C.

Then in college I spent three years in the library studying computational chemistry, machine learning and mathematics (which is why my twitter handle is RKHilbertSpace :).<br /><br />Then after college, I worked &quot;investment banker hours&quot; bootstrapping my startup, until my hair line was receding from the stress. I did not have much of a &#039;social life&#039; and all my relationships were business related. I did not have time for people that could not help me achieve my goals. By the end I had very few people that I talked to daily and who I enjoyed being around.<br /><br />I have not sold my companies yet, but after I moved to LA from NY I started meeting people who have sold their companies and they are much more relaxed and happier than I am.<br /><br />I told someone I wanted a G5 eventually, but that right now I am only trying to build a 15m/year business and that later in life, when I am more experienced and have more resources that I wanted take on more risk. He told me &quot;As you get older, you will find that other things become more important than owning a jet. You will find that time becomes more valuable. For instance travel has become much more important to me.&quot; I responded, &quot;Yes, when I sell my company, I hope that I do not become too lazy to go after the jet.&quot; and we both laughed.<br /><br />I am learning that having a good social life means being around people with common goals, aspirations and values.<br /><br />I am realizing that most people have nothing in common with me and that I do not enjoy being around them. Most people wake up, goto work and come home to watch television. They &quot;rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat.&quot;<br /><br />Having goals and people around me to aspire to those goals with, has improved my social life more than anything else.  Being successful and having other people to enjoy that success with is the most important thing.<div class="action_bar" id="__w2_CwLood7_answer_actions"><span id="ld_OtEogM_1055"><a class="view_comments supp " href="#" id="__w2_FWqAe72_view_comment_link">5 Comments</a></span><span class="bullet"> &bull; </span><span id="ld_OtEogM_1056"><a class="answer_permalink" href="/How-do-I-create-a-social-life-after-college-that-rivals-or-is-better-than-the-average-college-social-life/answer/Brandon-Smietana"><span class="datetime" id="__w2_THIwOdY_datespan">Insert a dynamic date here</span></a><span id="ld_OtEogM_1082"></span></span></div><div id="ld_OtEogM_1057"><div class="comments answer_comments hidden" id="__w2_mAbwLx6_answer_comments"><div id="ld_OtEogM_1142"><div id="ld_OtEogM_1177"><a name="comment218364"></a><div class="comment p0_5 br5 featured_comment" id="__w2_oQAgeoJ_comment"><div class="comment_contents"><p class="comment_text">Brandon, you rock.</p><p class="action_bar"><a class="user" href="/Adam-Rifkin">Adam Rifkin</a><span class="bullet"> &bull; </span><span class="datetime" id="__w2_KsfiPCC_datespan">Insert a dynamic date here</span></p></div></div></div><div id="ld_OtEogM_1178"><a name="comment218586"></a><div class="comment p0_5 br5 featured_comment" id="__w2_oVovJSx_comment"><div class="comment_contents"><p class="comment_text">Sky father! <br /><br />There are simpler ways to hang out with skanky ladies.</p><p class="action_bar"><a class="user" href="/Thomas-Hartman">Thomas Hartman</a><span class="bullet"> &bull; </span><span class="datetime" id="__w2_E9Te4iS_datespan">Insert a dynamic date here</span></p></div></div></div><div id="ld_OtEogM_1179"><a name="comment218639"></a><div class="comment p0_5 br5 featured_comment" id="__w2_qmMsCoS_comment"><div class="comment_contents"><p class="comment_text">Thomas, I know you love to dance, but expensive dancing classes only solve the lead generation problem.<br /><br />Having lots of money solves the dating problem on the demand size.

People in their early thirties tend to be on their third or fourth company and still have not achieved an exit yet.<br /><br />Also, many people who &quot;Succeed&quot; early on seem to spend all their money and are not successful at 30. Many people have flipped web-applications for 1 to 3 million in their early 20s and most of them do not know how to invest. Many people live above their level of income and end up spending the money by the time they are 30. The natural tendency of most Americans is towards debt (negative savings rate).<br /><br />Most of the people I have met who were successful in their 20s, were unsuccessful by the time they were in their thirties. This may constitute the majority of people who are &quot;successful&quot; in their 20s, although I am sure there are exceptions.<br /><br />One person built a successful social game and started to make several hundred thousand dollars a year overnight. However, instead of focusing on what made him successful, he was buying cars and traveling and his competitors annihilated his company and he lost his revenue source.<br /><br />Financial success begets laziness. Laziness begets failure. It is the virtuous cycle.</div></div></div></div></div><div id="ld_OtEogM_849"><div class="feed_item stream_feed_item p1 row"><div class="w0_5 e_col"><div class="big_number_stat"><div class="number">14</div><div class="text">Votes</div></div></div><div class="e_col side_col w2"><div class="feed_item_question"><h2><a href="/Palantir-Technologies/Why-would-Palantir-go-after-WikiLeaks/answer/Brandon-Smietana">Why would Palantir go after WikiLeaks?</a></h2></div><div class="inline" id="__w2_Kij7f6u_truncated"><div id="ld_OtEogM_855"><div class="truncated_thumbnail_holder"></div>This is a business issue not a moral one.

You cannot wait to write us a massive blank check, because the threat of Wikileaks is too great.&quot;<br /></b><br />Palantir&#039;s management would have to be incompetent to not try to capitalize on Wikileaks.<br /><br />More disturbing than Palantir&#039;s actions, is that the slides suggest that the US government should use Palantir&#039;s software to identify and threaten the job security of civilians, on the basis of which political organizations or ideologies they support.</div></div></div></div></div><div id="ld_OtEogM_850"><div class="feed_item stream_feed_item p1 row"><div class="w0_5 e_col"><div class="big_number_stat"><div class="number">14</div><div class="text">Votes</div></div></div><div class="e_col side_col w2"><div class="feed_item_question"><h2><a href="/In-a-two-person-team-should-one-person-be-in-charge-of-the-features-and-product-strategy/answer/Brandon-Smietana">In a two person team, should one person be in charge of the features and product strategy?</a></h2></div><div class="inline" id="__w2_XWV7byJ_truncated"><div id="ld_OtEogM_857"><div class="truncated_thumbnail_holder"></div>This question is an attempt at groping for moral authority.<br />... <a class="more_link" href="#" id="__w2_Hndz3tT_more_link">(more)</a> </div></div><div class="hidden expanded_q_text" id="__w2_XWV7byJ_expanded"><div id="ld_OtEogM_858">This question is an attempt at groping for moral authority.<br /><br />MBA/Lawyer: &quot;I think that I am open to learning from others, but everyone else should just do what I say.&quot;<br /><br />&quot;It would streamline decision making if everyone would just do what I tell them instead of involving themselves with the product. Someone has to have a final say on the product.&quot;<br /><br />In many startups the &quot;business person&quot; tries to make all product decisions and expects the technical co-founder to just focus on building the product. For some reason, most companies structured like this seem to fail. Developers in this position are often micromanaged and nagged to death or alienated. Even if the company is successful at launching a product, or raising money, they have difficulty expanding the team and lack the core management team needed for expansion.<br /><br />Developers I have spoken to who have worked as technical cofounders with an autocratic technical cofounder often describe the experience as similar to working for a bad client. Successful team where the developer was not heavily involved with the product design and customer are rare.<br /><br />Different people have different leadership and communication styles.<br /><br />Some people are more democratic and will accept input from others and defer to their expertise. Other people have a more autocratic communication style and will insist upon making all the decisions in the organization.<br /><br />I believe that decisions in an organization should be made by the people with the 1&gt; information and 2&gt; expertise to best make then decision.<br /><br />Saying &quot;one person needs to be responsible&quot; or &quot;each person much have a well defined fiefdom&quot; is conceptually simple but sacrifices organizational performance for simplicity in organizational structure. Saying &quot;this person is responsible for marketing, and he is responsible for technology&quot; divides decision marketing by roles.<br /><br />As an example, a hypothetical modern internet marketing campaign might require twitter/facebook integration with a web application, analytics functionality measuring the effectiveness of the marketing technique and A/B testing to optimize the marketing technique. Is this marketing campaign &quot;responsibility&quot; of engineering or the responsibility of marketing? Achieving even simple corporate goals requires behavior and decision making which cut across firm boundaries and roles.<br /><br />&quot;Responsibilities&quot; and &quot;decision making authority&quot; in an effective organization are delegated on the basis by expertise and knowledge, rather than by functional roles.<br /><br />You have to ask<br />1&gt; Which person or group has the knowledge to best make this decision<br />2&gt; Who has the expertise to make this decision<br /><br />On matters of design, defer decisions to a designer.<br /><br />Often a decision cuts across functional boundaries. A product feature decision requires<br /><br />1&gt; An conceptualization of the customer/user<br />2&gt; Ability to estimate the engineering complexity of the feature<br />3&gt; A set of criteria against which to evaluate the decision being made (what are the goals of the organization? Increase LTV, customer acquisition, reducing churn rates, etc...<br /><br />The first is a product manager/ customer development role. The second is an engineering role. The third is an executive role. It is the role of the executive to set organizational goals and define the criteria against which decisions will be judged.<br /><br />Decisions will be best made when the expertise (product/company Independent) and knowledge (product/company specific) required to make the decision are possessed by a single person. In the absence of an ubermensch who has broad company/product specific knowledge and an extremely high level of skill/expertise in multiple domains, decisions will be made by groups.<br /><br />MBA: &quot;I think that I am open to learning from others, but everyone else should just do what I say.&quot;</div></div></div></div></div><div id="ld_OtEogM_851"><div class="feed_item stream_feed_item p1 row"><div class="w0_5 e_col"><div class="big_number_stat"><div class="number">5</div><div class="text">Votes</div></div></div><div class="e_col side_col w2"><div class="feed_item_question"><h2><a href="/Who-are-good-friends-of-Steve-Jobs/answer/Brandon-Smietana">Who are good friends of Steve Jobs?</a></h2></div><div class="inline" id="__w2_hbhk7Ta_truncated"><div id="ld_OtEogM_859"><div class="truncated_thumbnail_holder"></div>Larry Ellison.

I am not sure how much &quot;pedigree&quot; is material.<br /><br />There are a few academic studies that look at this topic, I will reference and summarize the most interesting ones.<br /><br /><b>Skill vs. luck in entrepreneurship and venture capital: Evidence from serial entrepreneurs </b><a href="http://businessinnovation.berkeley.edu/WilliamsonSeminar/scharfstein041207.pdf" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" class="external_link">http://businessinnovation<wbr />.berkel...</a> <br /><br /><b>&quot;If a company is started by an entrepreneur with a track record of success, then the company is no more likely to succeed if it is funded by a top-tier venture capital firm or one in the lower tier.&quot;</b><br /><b><br /></b>&quot;Funding by more experienced venture capital firms enhances the chance of success, but only for entrepreneurs without a successful track record.&quot;<br /><br />&quot;More experienced venture capitalists are able to identify and invest in first time entrepreneurs who are more likely to become serial entrepreneurs.&quot;<br /><br />&quot;Investments by venture capitalists in successful serial entrepreneurs generate higher returns for their venture capital investors.&quot;<br /><br />&quot;Our empirical model indicates that entrepreneurs who succeeded in a<br />prior venture (i.e., started a company that went public) have a 30% chance of succeeding in their next venture. By contrast, first-time entrepreneurs have only an 18% chance of succeeding and entrepreneurs who previously failed have a 20% chance of succeeding.&quot;<br /><br />Therefore experienced entrepreneurs have a 50% better success rate than non-experienced entrepreneurs. However, a 50% improve on 20% is still a 30% success rate.<br /><br />This study is actually contradicted by other studies showing that entrepreneurs do not increase their success rate much between subsequent companies. Other studies suggest that a previously successful VC backed company only improves the survival chance of subsequent companies if they are in the same industry.<br /><br />&quot;It seems, prior success is a public signal of quality. It also implies that previously<br />successful entrepreneurs derive no benefits from the value-added services of more experienced venture capital firms; successful entrepreneurs apparently know what they’re doing.&quot;<br /><br /><b>&quot;More experienced venture capital firms only have higher success</b><br /><b>rates when they invest in unproven entrepreneurs, a fact which highlights the role suppliers of venture capital play in identifying skilled entrepreneurs and helping them to succeed.&quot;</b><br /><br />&quot;we do not find that serial entrepreneurs (whether successful or not) are able to benefit from their higher success rates by selling equity at higher prices.&quot;<br /><br />&quot;Given this fact, it should come as no surprise that the average investment multiple (exit valuation divided by pre-money valuation) is higher for companies of previously successful serial entrepreneurs. We also find that fund returns are higher for venture capital firms that tend to invest a larger share of their portfolio in serial entrepreneurs.&quot;<br /><br />This study suggests that on average, if a brand-name investors pay a premium valuation for an entrepreneur because of their pedigree, it may reduce their investment returns.<br /><br />Google, Cisco, Apple, Microstrategy, Amazon, Paypal, Yahoo and Facebook were started by first time entrepreneurs. I am not sure how much &quot;pedigree&quot; is material.<br /><br />This paper suggests that top tier venture capital firms generate abnormal returns by finding and developing skilled first-time entrepreneurs (especially people likely to become serial entrepreneurs) rather than by investing in &quot;proven&quot; entrepreneurs. This idea may be counter intuitive.<br /><br />Here is another related study on the top performing VC firms. This one is more difficult to summarize.<br /><br /><b>The Best Venture Capitalists </b><a href="http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1687766" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" class="external_link">http://papers<wbr />.ssrn.com/sol3/pape...</a></div><div class="action_bar" id="__w2_zM10tvS_answer_actions"><span id="ld_Lg8Tya_2565"><a class="view_comments supp " href="#" id="__w2_M9kkCqF_view_comment_link">12 Comments</a></span><span class="bullet"> &bull; </span><span id="ld_Lg8Tya_2566"><a class="answer_permalink" href="/How-much-does-startup-pedigree-matter/answer/Brandon-Smietana"><span class="datetime" id="__w2_LVsd6Al_datespan">Insert a dynamic date here</span></a><span id="ld_Lg8Tya_2701"></span></span></div><div id="ld_Lg8Tya_2567"><div class="comments answer_comments hidden" id="__w2_HVoV430_answer_comments"><div id="ld_Lg8Tya_2761"><div id="ld_Lg8Tya_2781"><a name="comment304266"></a><div class="comment p0_5 br5 featured_comment" id="__w2_bDcuxFk_comment"><div class="comment_contents"><p class="comment_text">Very interesting... The top line conclusion about first vs. second tier VC utility is definitely interesting, but two other stats jump out at me as well - one being the fact that a failed entrepreneur still edges out a first timer. That seems like a unique quirk of entrepreneurship most likely, I find it hard to believe that the same is true of failed sales executives or lawyers who have failed the bar exam vs. new law school grads. Guess that would require looking up. But the other interesting stat is the comparatively low spread between those with previous success and those without. Don&#039;t get me wrong a 50% increase over baseline is not small by any definition, but the fact that nobody there&#039;s only a 10% boost overall and *everyone&#039;s* a long shot is eye opening.</p><p class="action_bar"><a class="user" href="/Nick-Baily">Nick Baily</a><span class="bullet"> &bull; </span><span class="datetime" id="__w2_cVNrxrI_datespan">Insert a dynamic date here</span></p></div></div></div><div id="ld_Lg8Tya_2782"><a name="comment304267"></a><div class="comment p0_5 br5 featured_comment" id="__w2_Q8fy4lI_comment"><div class="comment_contents"><p class="comment_text">Hah...

Companies that get to series A only fail 30% of the time. They return 1-3x 40% of time and +3x about 30% of time.<br /><br />After you get to Series A, you have removed most of the risk of failure (but not of wash-out rounds and dilution). Seed stage is very risky, but the companies &quot;fail fast&quot;.<br /><br />Also, the majority of companies that are successful or IPO, do not take any early state VC funding. Many companies take late state or growth VC, but for IPOs there are a surprisingly low percentage of VC companies. Most companies are bootstrapped to profitability and grow organically (or through debt financing; Walmart expanded through traditional bank loans and debt financing instead of equity financing).<br /><br />However, this varies by industry. In internet/technology and biotech I think we expect to see a lot more VC funded companies than in other industries.</p><p class="action_bar"><a class="user" href="/Brandon-Smietana">Brandon Smietana</a><span class="bullet"> &bull; </span><span class="datetime" id="__w2_dPy8gzO_datespan">Insert a dynamic date here</span></p></div></div></div><div id="ld_Lg8Tya_2787"><a name="comment304289"></a><div class="comment p0_5 br5 featured_comment" id="__w2_h2WJcZH_comment"><div class="comment_contents"><p class="comment_text">I am using &quot;startup&quot; here in typical Quora terms, ie high growth technology.

He has also relieved much of the tension in the media (previously directled at Bush) about the occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan, without making any policy change concerning the wars. Obama has also been very successful at relieving media criticism about the use of torture by US military, without changing US policy or behavior.<br /><br />Obama&#039;s sound-bites quoted by the news papers make us feel warm and fuzzy about &quot;US imperial aggression&quot; and regime change throughout the middle east.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oddzA_R-zaU&amp;feature=fvwrel" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" class="external_link">http://www.youtube.com/wa<wbr />tch?v=o...</a><br /><br />Obama has been exceptional at improving the image of the United States aboard. Just a few years ago, mobs were parading through the street burning images of George Bush and desecrating the United States flag. Citizens of foreign country celebrated and breathed a sigh of relief when Obama was elected, because Obama was not Bush.<br /><br />Bush had an international PR problem and was portrayed extremely negatively in the domestic and foreign media. Abroad, Bush became a symbol for US imperial aggression and human rights abuses (perhaps unfairly). Bush had to martyr himself in acts of perjury to sell unpopular US foreign policies.<br /><br />Obama has the perfect PR image to for going to war for &quot;freedom and democracy&quot;.<br /><br />I think it is naive to criticize Bush or Obama. For instance, Bush did not decide to goto war in Afghanistan and Iraq. The US foreign policy community made the decision to go into Iraq and Afghanistan as early as 1995. The US military had been bombing the country for a decade and was just looking for an excuse.<br /><br />see: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bombing_of_Iraq_(December_1998)" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" class="external_link">http://en.wikipedia.org/w<wbr />iki/Bom...</a><br />see: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bombing_of_Iraq_(September_1996)" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" class="external_link">http://en.wikipedia.org/w<wbr />iki/Bom...</a><br /><br />This should remind you of what is currently happening in Libya.<br /><br />see: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Failed_Iraqi_peace_initiatives" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" class="external_link">http://en.wikipedia.org/w<wbr />iki/Fai...</a><br />see: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blair&#039;s_tests_for_Iraq_Disarmament" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" class="external_link">http://en.wikipedia.org/w<wbr />iki/Bla...</a><br /><br />Bush did not decide to goto war, although he is blamed for it. The US foreign policy groups decided that it was necessary to go to war and it is the job of the United States president to sell the war. &quot;No evidence of WMDs? If you dont produce a report finding evidence of WMDs, I will replace you with someone who will.&quot;<br /><br />Obama came in untainted by the negative PR of Bush, but his job is the same; to sell the consensus decisions made by the respective power centers in the US government. <br /><br />I personally believe that Obama has done an absolutely excellent job.

They like to get their money back. Having your capital tied up for another decade, to achieve only a few percentage points higher returns is not attractive to most angels.<br /><br />Also, angels suffer dilution in additional financing rounds; which are getting larger.<br /><br /><img class="qtext_image" src="http://d2o7bfz2il9cb7.cloudfront.net/main-qimg-adf74678f356e4eb9eb471d7a6c02595" title="Click to Enlarge" style="cursor: pointer" master_src="http://d2o7bfz2il9cb7.cloudfront.net/main-qimg-78b15b8626e7b07fc048cd202701bb9e" master_w="500" master_h="375" /><br />VCs do not want to &quot;hear about exits&quot; because the median exit for a VC company is now a decade into the future after the round closes.<br /><br />Therefore angels should have a preference for investing in companies that can undergo and M&amp;A or become profitable, without VC. However, many investors do not have data or experience needed to understand how requiring VC can affect returns and the period that capital is held up in the investment.<br /><br />Many angel investors have suffered in previous companies when VC investors come in. Convertible debt caps are renegotiated and minority shareholders are often treated adversely by institutional investors. Taking on VC also tends to increase the time to exit.<br /><br />Many angels add value early in the company; by bringing in customers, helping to recruit employees, financing early expenses and giving feedback on the product. Then after the institutional investors come in, they sometimes say &quot;These minority investors are no longer &#039;adding value&#039;&quot; and the minority investors are treated badly in subsequent financing rounds. For instance, by being stripped of their participation rights in subsequent rounds.<br /><br />Early stage PE investors do not make money by generating 30% returns on each investment. Early stage VCs need to invest in companies that can &quot;return the fund&quot;. This means they would rather see a company fail with 80% probability and 20% chance of returning the fund, rather than see an early exit at less than 3x returns.<br /><br />Companies that defer profitability or exit until the VC stage entails an additional layer of risk, beyond the high failure rate of pre-series A companies.<br /><br />For instance, VC funding heightens the risk of down rounds that may wipe out minority shareholders and founders. Many of the highest returns in the VC asset class were generated by companies that went through &quot;washout&quot; rounds.<br /><br />So in general, angels should prefer to make investments in companies that do not require VC to achieve profitability or an exit. In practice, this may not be true however because not all angels are making rational investment decisions which are informed by analysis of the exit data,<br /><br />For more information, see<br /><br /><b>Early Exits: Exit Strategies for Entrepreneurs and Angel Investors </b><u><a href="http://amzn.to/eMqrJE" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" class="external_link">http://amzn.to/<wbr />eMqrJE</a></u></div><div class="action_bar" id="__w2_XtTZLSG_answer_actions"><span id="ld_Lg8Tya_2579"><a class="view_comments supp " href="#" id="__w2_DN7EYLo_view_comment_link">Add Comment</a></span><span class="bullet"> &bull;

People in their early thirties tend to be on their third or fourth company and still have not achieved an exit yet.<br /><br />Also, many people who &quot;Succeed&quot; early on seem to spend all their money and are not successful at 30. Many people have flipped web-applications for 1 to 3 million in their early 20s and most of them do not know how to invest. Many people live above their level of income and end up spending the money by the time they are 30. The natural tendency of most Americans is towards debt (negative savings rate).<br /><br />Most of the people I have met who were successful in their 20s, were unsuccessful by the time they were in their thirties. This may constitute the majority of people who are &quot;successful&quot; in their 20s, although I am sure there are exceptions.<br /><br />One person built a successful social game and started to make several hundred thousand dollars a year overnight. However, instead of focusing on what made him successful, he was buying cars and traveling and his competitors annihilated his company and he lost his revenue source.<br /><br />Financial success begets laziness. Laziness begets failure.

The problem is similar to the problem of distributed databases or the problem of distributed state across multiple machines.<br /><br />I have n-computers with copies of the same piece of data. Each computer is modifying the local copy of the data and sending changes to the other computers. Assume computer 1 modifies data item 5 and then transmit change to computer 2, but before computer 2 receives the delta from computer 1, computer 2 also modifies data item 5. Then the delta is applied against data item 5 on computer 2 and now computer 1 and 2 are no longer in sync. They have different databases that are no longer syncronized.<br /><br />If the data operations commute (in the sense of group theory), then the first computer will go back into sync with computer 2, when computer 1 receives the delta from computer 2. You can treat operations on the state of data as a semi-group. If the operations do not commute (if the database state depends on the order the delta operations are applied), the the two databases will be out of sync.<br /><br />This problem does not occur in MySQL master-slave arrangements because deltas only go from the master to the slave and not in both directions.<br /><br />The following problem occurs; how do we get the two databases synced up again? How do we resolve the non-communititvity of the data operations?<br /><br />For a mathematical treatment, see<br /><br /><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%CE%A0-calculus" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" class="external_link">http://en.wikipedia.org/w<wbr />iki/%CE...</a><br /> <br />Notice that the operations on two different rows of a database commute. However two operations on the same row (such as setting the row to a value) do not usually do commute. Two increment or decrement operations commute.<br /><br />One method is to create a partial ordering on all data-operations and ensure that operations are applied to the data in a way that respects the partial ordering. Creating the partial ordered time stamps in a distributed system is closely related to &quot;clock synchronization problem&quot;. One solution to creating a partial ordering of events in a distributed system is called &quot;vector clocks&quot;<br /><br /><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector_clocks" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" class="external_link">http://en.wikipedia.org/w<wbr />iki/Vec...</a><br /><br />Note: a variation of vector clocks can be used for distributed versioning of data objects. In a distributed setting, using a simple version counter does not make sense. You often need a versioning method to determine whether the client has the same version of the document as the server (so that server can only retransmit diffs or transactions instead of retransmitting the whole document). In the non-distributed setting a version counter is sufficient Lazy people building distributed system who do not want to impose a partial ordering on their document versions often just use a hash of the document (git uses this approach).<br /><br />A an simpler approach to resolve conflicts is to have a single computer act as the &quot;canonical state&quot; (very similar to a master-slave arrangement, with operations being performed on central server and changes being relayed back to the clients), with that computer resolving conflicts between the deltas. There are a number of algorithms and techniques for doing this and it is a similar problem to resolving merge conflicts in a distributed version control system like Mercurial. If two delta are applied to the same data item at the same time by two different clients, the master server can invalidate the second delta to arrive. This only occurs when multiple clients/users are modifying the same area of the data and there are &#039;merge conflicts&#039; between the two diffs. Applications like etherpad have to resolve merge conflicts in real-time, often by discarding the inputs or modifications made by a particular client.<br /><br />The &quot;canonical state&quot; approach works very well for web applications, is simplier than a true p2p approach (which is not possible over http, for technological reasons). There are &quot;stateless&quot; and &quot;state full&quot; protocols in the sense that a state full protocol requires the server may need to keep track of client information, such as the current version of the document each client has in memory.<br /><br />An even simpler (and less satisfactory) approach is to given each client a token and invalidate diffs from all clients except the one with the token. This model is &quot;everyone can modify the data, but only one person can be modifying it at a given time&quot;.<br /><br />Etherpad is &quot;online&quot; in the sense that clients cannot disappear for weeks and then come back and submit diffs from days ago. This simplifies the problem significantly. However, the problem is complicated by real-time nature of Etherpad.<br /><br />For instance, HTML does not have server to client messages. Therefore it is difficult for the server to push changes to the client as changes occur to the document. HTML clients must poll, use long polling, flash or WebSockets.<br /><br />If the client is only polling once every 2 seconds, then all deltas will arrive in 2 second intervals and be applied in batches. Changes occur in lumps instead of in natural key-by-key sequences. One way to mitigate this is to time stamp deltas and replay them on the client. This makes typing appear nature and gives the illusion that the client is updating as the keys are coming in, even if the changes are only applied 2-4 seconds after the initial key press on the original client. Time stamped deltas also enable correction for variance in client-server latency.<br /><br />There are 4 operations an Etherpad type application is communicating from client to server are,<br /><br />1&gt; Add character<br />2&gt; Delete character<br />3&gt; Add Line of Characters<br />4&gt; Delete line of characters<br /><br />A challenge on the UI client side is keeping the scroll bar position constant as text is added/removed. This is more of a problem for longer documents (google docs) than it is for Etherpad, which tends to be used for shorter documents.<br /><br />Building an Etherpad type applications is not difficult, it is just very nuanced.</div><div class="action_bar" id="__w2_rAExVTk_answer_actions"><span id="ld_Lg8Tya_2621"><a class="view_comments supp " href="#" id="__w2_HDoSwRp_view_comment_link">Add Comment</a></span><span class="bullet"> &bull; </span><span id="ld_Lg8Tya_2622"><a class="answer_permalink" href="/What-is-hard-about-making-something-like-EtherPad/answer/Brandon-Smietana"><span class="datetime" id="__w2_M54KyPo_datespan">Insert a dynamic date here</span></a><span id="ld_Lg8Tya_2709"></span></span></div><div id="ld_Lg8Tya_2623"><div class="comments answer_comments hidden" id="__w2_wEljR2b_answer_comments"><div id="ld_Lg8Tya_2769"><span id="ld_Lg8Tya_2812"><div class="comment p0_5"><small><a class="light" href="/What-is-hard-about-making-something-like-EtherPad/all_comments/Brandon-Smietana">View All 0 Comments</a></small></div></span></div><div class="comment light p0_5">Cannot add comment at this time.</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div class="pagedlist_item" id="ld_Lg8Tya_2489"><div class="feed_item stream_feed_item p1" id="__w2_QQx5NO1_item"><div class="e_col w4_5"><div id="ld_Lg8Tya_2519"><div class="feed_item_question"><h2><span id="ld_Lg8Tya_2550"><span id="ld_Lg8Tya_2739"></span><a class="question_link" href="/In-a-two-person-team-should-one-person-be-in-charge-of-the-features-and-product-strategy" id="__w2_aEUb3TR_link"><span id="ld_Lg8Tya_2740"></span>In a two person team, should one person be in charge of the features and product strategy?</a></span></h2></div></div><div id="ld_Lg8Tya_2520"><div class="feed_item_answer answer_text" id="__w2_TqoPozU_answer"><div class="rating_buttons"><div id="__w2_TqoPozU_answer_voting"><div id="ld_Lg8Tya_2624"><div class="rating_buttons"><div class="rating_options" id="__w2_ZObBGhY_buttons"><a class="lil_button rate_up" href="#" id="__w2_ZObBGhY_answer_vote_up_link">&nbsp;</a><a class="lil_button rate_down" href="#" id="__w2_ZObBGhY_answer_vote_down_link">&nbsp;</a></div></div></div></div></div><div class="feed_item_answer_content answer_content" id="__w2_TqoPozU_answer_wrapper"><div class="answer_user"><span class="feed_item_answer_user" id="__w2_TqoPozU_answer_user_sig"><a class="user" href="/Brandon-Smietana">Brandon Smietana</a><span class="rep">, </span><span id="__w2_IRN3TuB_link"><span class="rep">Founder of Symbolic Analytics</span></span><div class="hover_menu hidden" style="display: none" id="__w2_IRN3TuB_menu"><div class="hover_menu_nub"></div><div class="menu_contents growl_notification" id="__w2_IRN3TuB_menu_contents"> </div></div></span><div id="__w2_TqoPozU_answer_voters"><div id="ld_Lg8Tya_2625"><span class="answer_voters"><span class="answer_voter_callout"><strong class="voter_count">13</strong> votes</span> by <a class="user" href="/Michiel-van-Vlaardingen">Michiel van Vlaardingen</a>, <a class="user" href="/Cameron-A.-Ellis">Cameron A.

Someone has to have a final say on the product.&quot;<br /><br />In many startups the &quot;business person&quot; tries to make all product decisions and expects the technical co-founder to just focus on building the product. For some reason, most companies structured like this seem to fail. Developers in this position are often micromanaged and nagged to death or alienated. Even if the company is successful at launching a product, or raising money, they have difficulty expanding the team and lack the core management team needed for expansion.<br /><br />Developers I have spoken to who have worked as technical cofounders with an autocratic technical cofounder often describe the experience as similar to working for a bad client. Successful team where the developer was not heavily involved with the product design and customer are rare.<br /><br />Different people have different leadership and communication styles.<br /><br />Some people are more democratic and will accept input from others and defer to their expertise. Other people have a more autocratic communication style and will insist upon making all the decisions in the organization.<br /><br />I believe that decisions in an organization should be made by the people with the 1&gt; information and 2&gt; expertise to best make then decision.<br /><br />Saying &quot;one person needs to be responsible&quot; or &quot;each person much have a well defined fiefdom&quot; is conceptually simple but sacrifices organizational performance for simplicity in organizational structure. Saying &quot;this person is responsible for marketing, and he is responsible for technology&quot; divides decision marketing by roles.<br /><br />As an example, a hypothetical modern internet marketing campaign might require twitter/facebook integration with a web application, analytics functionality measuring the effectiveness of the marketing technique and A/B testing to optimize the marketing technique. Is this marketing campaign &quot;responsibility&quot; of engineering or the responsibility of marketing? Achieving even simple corporate goals requires behavior and decision making which cut across firm boundaries and roles.<br /><br />&quot;Responsibilities&quot; and &quot;decision making authority&quot; in an effective organization are delegated on the basis by expertise and knowledge, rather than by functional roles.<br /><br />You have to ask<br />1&gt; Which person or group has the knowledge to best make this decision<br />2&gt; Who has the expertise to make this decision<br /><br />On matters of design, defer decisions to a designer.<br /><br />Often a decision cuts across functional boundaries. A product feature decision requires<br /><br />1&gt; An conceptualization of the customer/user<br />2&gt; Ability to estimate the engineering complexity of the feature<br />3&gt; A set of criteria against which to evaluate the decision being made (what are the goals of the organization? Increase LTV, customer acquisition, reducing churn rates, etc...<br /><br />The first is a product manager/ customer development role. The second is an engineering role. The third is an executive role. It is the role of the executive to set organizational goals and define the criteria against which decisions will be judged.<br /><br />Decisions will be best made when the expertise (product/company Independent) and knowledge (product/company specific) required to make the decision are possessed by a single person. In the absence of an ubermensch who has broad company/product specific knowledge and an extremely high level of skill/expertise in multiple domains, decisions will be made by groups.<br /><br />MBA: &quot;I think that I am open to learning from others, but everyone else should just do what I say.&quot;</div><div class="action_bar" id="__w2_TqoPozU_answer_actions"><span id="ld_Lg8Tya_2628"><a class="view_comments supp " href="#" id="__w2_qJHdkmL_view_comment_link">1 Comment</a></span><span class="bullet"> &bull; </span><span id="ld_Lg8Tya_2629"><a class="answer_permalink" href="/In-a-two-person-team-should-one-person-be-in-charge-of-the-features-and-product-strategy/answer/Brandon-Smietana"><span class="datetime" id="__w2_OMX3VGT_datespan">Insert a dynamic date here</span></a><span id="ld_Lg8Tya_2710"></span></span></div><div id="ld_Lg8Tya_2630"><div class="comments answer_comments hidden" id="__w2_Ur3hUJl_answer_comments"><div id="ld_Lg8Tya_2770"><div id="ld_Lg8Tya_2813"><a name="comment276440"></a><div class="comment p0_5 br5 featured_comment" id="__w2_xBeyz7u_comment"><div class="comment_contents"><p class="comment_text">Also, one of these two people should be a paramedic or at least have first aid training because someone just got BURNED.</p><p class="action_bar"><a class="user" href="/Yishan-Wong">Yishan Wong</a><span class="bullet"> &bull; </span><span class="datetime" id="__w2_NTDYAg0_datespan">Insert a dynamic date here</span></p></div></div></div><span id="ld_Lg8Tya_2814"><div class="comment p0_5"><small><a class="light" href="/In-a-two-person-team-should-one-person-be-in-charge-of-the-features-and-product-strategy/all_comments/Brandon-Smietana">View 1 Comment</a></small></div></span></div><div class="comment light p0_5">Cannot add comment at this time.</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div class="pagedlist_item" id="ld_Lg8Tya_2490"><div class="feed_item stream_feed_item p1" id="__w2_cXyi1wd_item"><div class="e_col w4_5"><div id="ld_Lg8Tya_2521"><div class="feed_item_question"><h2><span id="ld_Lg8Tya_2551"><span id="ld_Lg8Tya_2741"></span><a class="question_link" href="/What-are-some-of-the-best-books-on-behavioral-investing" id="__w2_oCibh2t_link"><span id="ld_Lg8Tya_2742"></span>What are some of the best books on behavioral investing?</a></span></h2></div></div><div id="ld_Lg8Tya_2522"><div class="feed_item_answer answer_text" id="__w2_LUxXOWP_answer"><div class="rating_buttons"><div id="__w2_LUxXOWP_answer_voting"><div id="ld_Lg8Tya_2631"><div class="rating_buttons"><div class="rating_options" id="__w2_P8LqXMl_buttons"><a class="lil_button rate_up" href="#" id="__w2_P8LqXMl_answer_vote_up_link">&nbsp;</a><a class="lil_button rate_down" href="#" id="__w2_P8LqXMl_answer_vote_down_link">&nbsp;</a></div></div></div></div></div><div class="feed_item_answer_content answer_content" id="__w2_LUxXOWP_answer_wrapper"><div class="answer_user"><span class="feed_item_answer_user" id="__w2_LUxXOWP_answer_user_sig"><a class="user" href="/Brandon-Smietana">Brandon Smietana</a><span class="rep">, </span><span id="__w2_nCApZa4_link"><span class="rep">Founder of Symbolic Analytics</span></span><div class="hover_menu hidden" style="display: none" id="__w2_nCApZa4_menu"><div class="hover_menu_nub"></div><div class="menu_contents growl_notification" id="__w2_nCApZa4_menu_contents"> </div></div></span><div id="__w2_LUxXOWP_answer_voters"><div id="ld_Lg8Tya_2632"></div></div></div><div id="ld_Lg8Tya_2633"></div><div id="ld_Lg8Tya_2634">These books are deceptively titled, but are actually about behavior finance.<br /><br /><b>Inside the Investor&#039;s Brain: The Power of Mind Over Money</b> <a href="http://amzn.to/eNwqkV" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" class="external_link">http://amzn.to/eNwq<wbr />kV</a><br /><br /><b>MarketPsych: How to Manage Fear and Build Your Investor Identity </b><a href="http://amzn.to/hytSiB" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" class="external_link">http://amzn.to/h<wbr />ytSiB</a></div><div class="action_bar" id="__w2_LUxXOWP_answer_actions"><span id="ld_Lg8Tya_2635"><a class="view_comments supp " href="#" id="__w2_L5K48a7_view_comment_link">4 Comments</a></span><span class="bullet"> &bull; </span><span id="ld_Lg8Tya_2636"><a class="answer_permalink" href="/What-are-some-of-the-best-books-on-behavioral-investing/answer/Brandon-Smietana"><span class="datetime" id="__w2_dciSVOs_datespan">Insert a dynamic date here</span></a><span id="ld_Lg8Tya_2711"></span></span></div><div id="ld_Lg8Tya_2637"><div class="comments answer_comments hidden" id="__w2_bgg5E8h_answer_comments"><div id="ld_Lg8Tya_2771"><div id="ld_Lg8Tya_2815"><a name="comment267015"></a><div class="comment p0_5 br5 featured_comment" id="__w2_JngVgyV_comment"><div class="comment_contents"><p class="comment_text">Has anyone actually shown consistently higher returns using behavioral investing?

Many investors do not have enough cash to build a diversified angel portfolio. If you remove the 1-2 top returning companies in a 30 company portfolio, the rate of return goes to zero.<br /><br />Most investors are also suffer adverse selection and many of the prime companies are increasing going through groups like Angel List or are syndicated among a very small group of &#039;super angel&#039; investors.<br /><br />The best model I have seen, is for high profile investors or network hubs to receive cheap/free equity for allowing the companies to put that person&#039;s name on their advisor board. The people on the advisor board then try to push the company on angels in their network.<br /><br />This strategy seems to work very well for certain people, both in LA and in SV.<br /><br />&quot;Active Investors&quot; who can generate early customers for a company or who can recruit capital or employees are also in a position to extract cheap/free equity and build a diversified portfolio.<br /><br />In general, investing human capital is better for both the investor and the company and produces better returns to the investor than putting money in the company. The best way to create angel investors is to increase the opportunities for entrepreneurs to network with the wider community of companies and people.</div><div class="action_bar" id="__w2_oTooBjF_answer_actions"><span id="ld_Lg8Tya_2642"><a class="view_comments supp " href="#" id="__w2_VOWWdsO_view_comment_link">Add Comment</a></span><span class="bullet"> &bull; </span><span id="ld_Lg8Tya_2643"><a class="answer_permalink" href="/What-are-some-good-ways-to-get-new-angel-investors-into-the-market/answer/Brandon-Smietana"><span class="datetime" id="__w2_knEyPbM_datespan">Insert a dynamic date here</span></a><span id="ld_Lg8Tya_2712"></span></span></div><div id="ld_Lg8Tya_2644"><div class="comments answer_comments hidden" id="__w2_Ai62EzV_answer_comments"><div id="ld_Lg8Tya_2772"><span id="ld_Lg8Tya_2820"><div class="comment p0_5"><small><a class="light" href="/What-are-some-good-ways-to-get-new-angel-investors-into-the-market/all_comments/Brandon-Smietana">View All 0 Comments</a></small></div></span></div><div class="comment light p0_5">Cannot add comment at this time.</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div class="pagedlist_item" id="ld_Lg8Tya_2492"><div class="feed_item stream_feed_item p1" id="__w2_WTBKhnC_item"><div class="e_col w4_5"><div id="ld_Lg8Tya_2525"><div class="feed_item_question"><h2><span id="ld_Lg8Tya_2553"><span id="ld_Lg8Tya_2745"></span><a class="question_link" href="/I-believe-that-VC-is-for-lesser-men-Are-my-ideals-self-defeating" id="__w2_z7Mh9NE_link"><span id="ld_Lg8Tya_2746"></span>I believe that VC is for lesser men.

Less than 10% of companies that IPO took on early stage private equity. Approximately 70% of companies that IPO took on private equity investment at some point (mostly in late stage &#039;growth private equity&#039;).<br /><br />Walmart was in a highly capital intensive industry with low margins and never required venture capital. For profitable companies with positive cash flows, bank loans may have a lower cost of capital compared to selling equity.<br /><br />Early stage venture capital is a &quot;Silicon Valley&quot; thing and most successful entrepreneurs build their companies without VCs.<br /><br />By the time your company has enough customers to have easy access to venture capital, most companies will not need it anymore. If you are in an industry like software, which low has capital costs and 100% margins, then VC may not be appropriate for you.<br /><br />Most successful companies do not achieve the scale required to return liquidity to their investors and therefore venture capital is not appropriate for the majority of entrepreneurs and their companies. Building a 15 million dollar a year consulting company that throws of a few million a year in profits is great for the founder, but not an appropriate target for VC investment.<br /><br />In some industries, building out the sales distribution channel is more expensive than building the product and VC may be appropriate.<br /><br />In general, people are too willing to take on outside investment, even if they do not need it and have no use for it. I spoke with a social game CEO who has a profitable flash games company. He had VC money shoved down his throat. He said &quot;I dont regret taking VC, but I regret spending the money.&quot;<br /><br />I would recommend reading,<br /><br /><b>Raising Venture Capital for the Serious Entrepreneur </b><a href="http://amzn.to/hPdFp0" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" class="external_link">http://amzn.<wbr />to/hPdFp0</a><br /><br />Do not let anyone in Silicon Valley tell you that you are not a real company if you do not take on venture capital. VC funded companies make the news and people gossip about valuations. However, for every successful venture backed company there are three dozen &quot;quietly profitable&quot; companies.</div><div class="action_bar" id="__w2_DXW0vLO_answer_actions"><span id="ld_Lg8Tya_2649"><a class="view_comments supp " href="#" id="__w2_n17zbNb_view_comment_link">Add Comment</a></span><span class="bullet"> &bull; </span><span id="ld_Lg8Tya_2650"><a class="answer_permalink" href="/I-believe-that-VC-is-for-lesser-men-Are-my-ideals-self-defeating/answer/Brandon-Smietana"><span class="datetime" id="__w2_u0vEW4t_datespan">Insert a dynamic date here</span></a><span id="ld_Lg8Tya_2713"></span></span></div><div id="ld_Lg8Tya_2651"><div class="comments answer_comments hidden" id="__w2_CjIAsch_answer_comments"><div id="ld_Lg8Tya_2773"><span id="ld_Lg8Tya_2821"><div class="comment p0_5"><small><a class="light" href="/I-believe-that-VC-is-for-lesser-men-Are-my-ideals-self-defeating/all_comments/Brandon-Smietana">View All 0 Comments</a></small></div></span></div><div class="comment light p0_5">Cannot add comment at this time.</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div class="pagedlist_item" id="ld_Lg8Tya_2493"><div class="feed_item stream_feed_item p1" id="__w2_EqMp4mg_item"><div class="e_col w4_5"><div id="ld_Lg8Tya_2527"><div class="feed_item_question"><h2><span id="ld_Lg8Tya_2554"><span id="ld_Lg8Tya_2747"></span><a class="question_link" href="/Palantir-Technologies/Why-would-Palantir-go-after-WikiLeaks" id="__w2_ozmJWr3_link"><span id="ld_Lg8Tya_2748"></span>Why would Palantir go after WikiLeaks?</a></span></h2></div></div><div id="ld_Lg8Tya_2528"><div class="feed_item_answer answer_text" id="__w2_knTw2FV_answer"><div class="rating_buttons"><div id="__w2_knTw2FV_answer_voting"><div id="ld_Lg8Tya_2652"><div class="rating_buttons"><div class="rating_options" id="__w2_ROM9Lkl_buttons"><a class="lil_button rate_up" href="#" id="__w2_ROM9Lkl_answer_vote_up_link">&nbsp;</a><a class="lil_button rate_down" href="#" id="__w2_ROM9Lkl_answer_vote_down_link">&nbsp;</a></div></div></div></div></div><div class="feed_item_answer_content answer_content" id="__w2_knTw2FV_answer_wrapper"><div class="answer_user"><span class="feed_item_answer_user" id="__w2_knTw2FV_answer_user_sig"><a class="user" href="/Brandon-Smietana">Brandon Smietana</a><span class="rep">, </span><span id="__w2_pmhWtFf_link"><span class="rep">Founder of Symbolic Analytics</span></span><div class="hover_menu hidden" style="display: none" id="__w2_pmhWtFf_menu"><div class="hover_menu_nub"></div><div class="menu_contents growl_notification" id="__w2_pmhWtFf_menu_contents"> </div></div></span><div id="__w2_knTw2FV_answer_voters"><div id="ld_Lg8Tya_2653"><span class="answer_voters"><span class="answer_voter_callout"><strong class="voter_count">13</strong> votes</span> by <a class="user" href="/Craig-Montuori">Craig Montuori</a>, <a class="user" href="/Ryan-Borek">Ryan Borek</a>, <a class="user" href="/Cinders-Holmes">Cinders Holmes</a>, <a class="more_link" href="#" id="__w2_gC4JnBC_view_all_link">(more)</a></span></div></div></div><div id="ld_Lg8Tya_2654"></div><div id="ld_Lg8Tya_2655">This is a business issue not a moral one.

If you are an iphone photosharing application; then slow means you can only survive for as long as venture capitalists are willing to pump more money into the company.<br /><br />Even if the company exits at $250 million in ten years, the liquidation preferences for the preferred will be piled so high that there will be nothing left for the employees and management (like Slide).<br /><br />Digg had 15 million a year in revenue at peak, but have never been profitable. Then traffic fell by 50% after the user numbers peaked.<br /><br />A &quot;slow&quot; company can make money for the founders, but only if they achieve a high valuation and sell off common stock to investors (etc. &quot;take money off the table&quot;). Otherwise the only way a company without revenues can generate returns for its investors is if it is flipped.<br /><br />A &quot;slow company&quot; does not make sense if backed by venture capital, because the fund partners need to show returns to their LPs within a 15 year period. If the company does a secondary sale and early investors sell their stake to new investors, then maybe a &quot;slow company&quot; could exist.<br /><br />As an investment, I am not sure that a &quot;slow company&quot; makes any sense.<br /><br />By &quot;slow company&quot;, what they mean is &quot;We will build a bunch of crap and something will be successful eventually&quot;. The idea of a &quot;slow company&quot; is probably just a way of putting off pressure to show revenues and traction early in the company&#039;s history.<br /><br />Many successful companies (Paypal, Slide, etc...) were started by entrepreneurs who had no idea what they were doing and who changed markets and products several times.<br /><br />If the private equity bubble pops again, the &quot;slow companies&quot; without revenues are going to be the ones who are hit the hardest.</div><div class="action_bar" id="__w2_buwySXl_answer_actions"><span id="ld_Lg8Tya_2691"><a class="view_comments supp " href="#" id="__w2_p4mRtFE_view_comment_link">Add Comment</a></span><span class="bullet"> &bull; </span><span id="ld_Lg8Tya_2692"><a class="answer_permalink" href="/Will-Dave-Morins-slow-product-movement-be-successful/answer/Brandon-Smietana"><span class="datetime" id="__w2_XX2nKR8_datespan">Insert a dynamic date here</span></a><span id="ld_Lg8Tya_2719"></span></span></div><div id="ld_Lg8Tya_2693"><div class="comments answer_comments hidden" id="__w2_ofqznug_answer_comments"><div id="ld_Lg8Tya_2779"><span id="ld_Lg8Tya_2830"><div class="comment p0_5"><small><a class="light" href="/Will-Dave-Morins-slow-product-movement-be-successful/all_comments/Brandon-Smietana">View All 0 Comments</a></small></div></span></div><div class="comment light p0_5">Cannot add comment at this time.</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div class="pagedlist_item" id="ld_Lg8Tya_2499"><div class="feed_item stream_feed_item p1" id="__w2_D0dCxSr_item"><div class="e_col w4_5"><div id="ld_Lg8Tya_2539"><div class="feed_item_question"><h2><span id="ld_Lg8Tya_2560"><span id="ld_Lg8Tya_2759"></span><a class="question_link" href="/If-you-are-an-investor-for-an-early-stage-company-do-you-place-more-value-on-1MM-unique-visitor-or-the-ability-to-convert-at-5-but-only-1000-customers" id="__w2_m9mM5XE_link"><span id="ld_Lg8Tya_2760"></span>If you are an investor for an early stage company, do you place more value on 1MM unique visitor or the ability to convert at 5%+ but only 1000 customers?</a></span></h2></div></div><div id="ld_Lg8Tya_2540"><div class="feed_item_answer answer_text" id="__w2_Q9xXqHb_answer"><div class="rating_buttons"><div id="__w2_Q9xXqHb_answer_voting"><div id="ld_Lg8Tya_2694"><div class="rating_buttons"><div class="rating_options" id="__w2_GIUJ7dq_buttons"><a class="lil_button rate_up" href="#" id="__w2_GIUJ7dq_answer_vote_up_link">&nbsp;</a><a class="lil_button rate_down" href="#" id="__w2_GIUJ7dq_answer_vote_down_link">&nbsp;</a></div></div></div></div></div><div class="feed_item_answer_content answer_content" id="__w2_Q9xXqHb_answer_wrapper"><div class="answer_user"><span class="feed_item_answer_user" id="__w2_Q9xXqHb_answer_user_sig"><a class="user" href="/Brandon-Smietana">Brandon Smietana</a><span class="rep">, </span><span id="__w2_iHMZ5tU_link"><span class="rep">Founder of Symbolic Analytics</span></span><div class="hover_menu hidden" style="display: none" id="__w2_iHMZ5tU_menu"><div class="hover_menu_nub"></div><div class="menu_contents growl_notification" id="__w2_iHMZ5tU_menu_contents"> </div></div></span><div id="__w2_Q9xXqHb_answer_voters"><div id="ld_Lg8Tya_2695"><span class="answer_voters"><span class="answer_voter_callout"><strong class="voter_count">2</strong> votes</span> by <a class="user" href="/J.C.-Hewitt">J.C.

As soon as you can get your cost per customer acquisition below the LTV of your users, you can scale up through display advertising and search advertising channels.<br /><br />Having a repeatable customer acquisition process is more important than the total number of users. Having a CAC below your LTV shows your investors that you have something to spend money on.<br /><br />If you cannot monetize (ex. Twitter), then having a large number of users is the only alternative.<br /><br />If you can convert users, the next thing you want to do is to try different user acquisition channels and determine what is effective for your business. It is more difficult to acquire users profitably at scale without revenues to reinvest into customer acquisition channels.<br /><br />I do not believe that the answer is one or the other. It depends on your customer acquisition channels and depends on whether your channel is SEO or display advertising. Conversion rates do not matter as much for SEO traffic, which is effectively free; where as conversion rates are critical to optimize if your traffic is display or search advertising driven, because increases conversion rates will lower you CAC.<br /><br />Improving your product will improve churn rates.<br />Decreasing churn rates will increase LTV for subscription service<br />Improving your conversion rates will improve (decrease) your CAC<br /><br />What matter is not &quot;conversion rates&quot; or &quot;number of users&quot;, but &quot;number of new users times conversion rate&quot;, because that is the rate of user-base growth. You can either improve the conversion rate or you can improve the number of user coming into customer acquisition channel, but the rate of user growth will be the arithmetic product of those two variables.</div><div class="action_bar" id="__w2_Q9xXqHb_answer_actions"><span id="ld_Lg8Tya_2698"><a class="view_comments supp " href="#" id="__w2_iDOM5rC_view_comment_link">Add Comment</a></span><span class="bullet"> &bull; </span><span id="ld_Lg8Tya_2699"><a class="answer_permalink" href="/If-you-are-an-investor-for-an-early-stage-company-do-you-place-more-value-on-1MM-unique-visitor-or-the-ability-to-convert-at-5-but-only-1000-customers/answer/Brandon-Smietana"><span class="datetime" id="__w2_jUWuM1S_datespan">Insert a dynamic date here</span></a><span id="ld_Lg8Tya_2720"></span></span></div><div id="ld_Lg8Tya_2700"><div class="comments answer_comments hidden" id="__w2_L2MzkR5_answer_comments"><div id="ld_Lg8Tya_2780"><span id="ld_Lg8Tya_2831"><div class="comment p0_5"><small><a class="light" href="/If-you-are-an-investor-for-an-early-stage-company-do-you-place-more-value-on-1MM-unique-visitor-or-the-ability-to-convert-at-5-but-only-1000-customers/all_comments/Brandon-Smietana">View All 0 Comments</a></small></div></span></div><div class="comment light p0_5">Cannot add comment at this time.</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div id="ld_Lg8Tya_2500"><div class="hidden" id="__w2_rJiTA1D_loading"><span class="__wn2_loading"><span class="__wn2_loading_spinner"></span><span class="__wn2_loading_text">Loading...</span></span></div><div class="pager_next action_button" id="__w2_rJiTA1D_more">More</div></div></div></div></div><div class="e_col w2_5 side_col"><div class="row"><div class="e_col w1 p1"><div id="ld_Lg8Tya_2460"><div class="profile_photo"><div id="ld_Lg8Tya_2463"><a href="/Brandon-Smietana"><img class="profile_photo_img" src="http://d2o7bfz2il9cb7.cloudfront.net/main-thumb-6673-100-iQY07uHy4EIxliIOKB2oVtdnn7FsdmZc.jpeg" width="100" alt="Brandon Smietana" height="100" /></a></div></div></div></div><div class="e_col w1_5 side_col p1"><div class="light page_opts row"><div id="ld_Lg8Tya_2461"><ul class="action_list"></ul></div></div></div><div id="ld_Lg8Tya_2462"><div class="row p1"><div class="col mini_count first"><a href="/Brandon-Smietana/followers"><strong>813</strong><br />Followers</a></div><div class="col mini_count "><a href="/Brandon-Smietana/following"><strong>780</strong><br />Following</a></div><div class="col mini_count "><a href="/Brandon-Smietana/mentions"><strong>37</strong><br />@Mentions</a></div></div></div></div><div id="ld_Lg8Tya_2458"><div class="row section p1" id="answers"><strong>Recent Top Answers</strong><div id="ld_Lg8Tya_2465"><div class="feed_item stream_feed_item p1 row"><div class="w0_5 e_col"><div class="big_number_stat"><div class="number">58</div><div class="text">Votes</div></div></div><div class="e_col side_col w2"><div class="feed_item_question"><h2><a href="/Success/If-I-havent-succeeded-in-my-mid-20s-could-I-be-successful-in-the-rest-of-my-life/answer/Brandon-Smietana">If I haven&#039;t succeeded in my mid 20s, could I be successful in the rest of my life?</a></h2></div><div class="inline" id="__w2_UZ8exrg_truncated"><div id="ld_Lg8Tya_2470"><div class="truncated_thumbnail_holder"></div>Net worth at age 28 has only a slight correlation of 0.13 with your net worth at 33-41.<br />... <a class="more_link" href="#" id="__w2_WBtQUFG_more_link">(more)</a> </div></div><div class="hidden expanded_q_text" id="__w2_UZ8exrg_expanded"><div id="ld_Lg8Tya_2471">Net worth at age 28 has only a slight correlation of 0.13 with your net worth at 33-41.<br /><br />Many entrepreneurs do not achieve an exit until they are in mid thirties to late forties.The percentage of people who succeed before they are 35 is very low. People in their early thirties tend to be on their third or fourth company and still have not achieved an exit yet.<br /><br />Also, many people who &quot;Succeed&quot; early on seem to spend all their money and are not successful at 30. Many people have flipped web-applications for 1 to 3 million in their early 20s and most of them do not know how to invest. Many people live above their level of income and end up spending the money by the time they are 30. The natural tendency of most Americans is towards debt (negative savings rate).<br /><br />Most of the people I have met who were successful in their 20s, were unsuccessful by the time they were in their thirties. This may constitute the majority of people who are &quot;successful&quot; in their 20s, although I am sure there are exceptions.<br /><br />One person built a successful social game and started to make several hundred thousand dollars a year overnight. However, instead of focusing on what made him successful, he was buying cars and traveling and his competitors annihilated his company and he lost his revenue source.<br /><br />Financial success begets laziness. Laziness begets failure. It is the virtuous cycle.</div></div></div></div></div><div id="ld_Lg8Tya_2466"><div class="feed_item stream_feed_item p1 row"><div class="w0_5 e_col"><div class="big_number_stat"><div class="number">14</div><div class="text">Votes</div></div></div><div class="e_col side_col w2"><div class="feed_item_question"><h2><a href="/Palantir-Technologies/Why-would-Palantir-go-after-WikiLeaks/answer/Brandon-Smietana">Why would Palantir go after WikiLeaks?</a></h2></div><div class="inline" id="__w2_aaEtH66_truncated"><div id="ld_Lg8Tya_2472"><div class="truncated_thumbnail_holder"></div>This is a business issue not a moral one.

Someone has to have a final say on the product.&quot;<br /><br />In many startups the &quot;business person&quot; tries to make all product decisions and expects the technical co-founder to just focus on building the product. For some reason, most companies structured like this seem to fail. Developers in this position are often micromanaged and nagged to death or alienated. Even if the company is successful at launching a product, or raising money, they have difficulty expanding the team and lack the core management team needed for expansion.<br /><br />Developers I have spoken to who have worked as technical cofounders with an autocratic technical cofounder often describe the experience as similar to working for a bad client. Successful team where the developer was not heavily involved with the product design and customer are rare.<br /><br />Different people have different leadership and communication styles.<br /><br />Some people are more democratic and will accept input from others and defer to their expertise. Other people have a more autocratic communication style and will insist upon making all the decisions in the organization.<br /><br />I believe that decisions in an organization should be made by the people with the 1&gt; information and 2&gt; expertise to best make then decision.<br /><br />Saying &quot;one person needs to be responsible&quot; or &quot;each person much have a well defined fiefdom&quot; is conceptually simple but sacrifices organizational performance for simplicity in organizational structure. Saying &quot;this person is responsible for marketing, and he is responsible for technology&quot; divides decision marketing by roles.<br /><br />As an example, a hypothetical modern internet marketing campaign might require twitter/facebook integration with a web application, analytics functionality measuring the effectiveness of the marketing technique and A/B testing to optimize the marketing technique. Is this marketing campaign &quot;responsibility&quot; of engineering or the responsibility of marketing? Achieving even simple corporate goals requires behavior and decision making which cut across firm boundaries and roles.<br /><br />&quot;Responsibilities&quot; and &quot;decision making authority&quot; in an effective organization are delegated on the basis by expertise and knowledge, rather than by functional roles.<br /><br />You have to ask<br />1&gt; Which person or group has the knowledge to best make this decision<br />2&gt; Who has the expertise to make this decision<br /><br />On matters of design, defer decisions to a designer.<br /><br />Often a decision cuts across functional boundaries. A product feature decision requires<br /><br />1&gt; An conceptualization of the customer/user<br />2&gt; Ability to estimate the engineering complexity of the feature<br />3&gt; A set of criteria against which to evaluate the decision being made (what are the goals of the organization? Increase LTV, customer acquisition, reducing churn rates, etc...<br /><br />The first is a product manager/ customer development role. The second is an engineering role. The third is an executive role. It is the role of the executive to set organizational goals and define the criteria against which decisions will be judged.<br /><br />Decisions will be best made when the expertise (product/company Independent) and knowledge (product/company specific) required to make the decision are possessed by a single person. In the absence of an ubermensch who has broad company/product specific knowledge and an extremely high level of skill/expertise in multiple domains, decisions will be made by groups.<br /><br />MBA: &quot;I think that I am open to learning from others, but everyone else should just do what I say.&quot;</div></div></div></div></div><div id="ld_Lg8Tya_2468"><div class="feed_item stream_feed_item p1 row"><div class="w0_5 e_col"><div class="big_number_stat"><div class="number">6</div><div class="text">Votes</div></div></div><div class="e_col side_col w2"><div class="feed_item_question"><h2><a href="/Who-are-good-friends-of-Steve-Jobs/answer/Brandon-Smietana">Who are good friends of Steve Jobs?</a></h2></div><div class="inline" id="__w2_wHLooas_truncated"><div id="ld_Lg8Tya_2476"><div class="truncated_thumbnail_holder"></div>Larry Ellison.
