Dancing For the Stars

Time is your most precious resource; spend it on building a business not investor slides.

Attend any pitch competition and watch the partners and employees of the venture capital firms in attendance be treated like stars.  It is inevitable because of the Startup Golden Rule: “He who has the gold makes the rules.”  The reality is that less than one percent of startups receive venture funding, and even with it, only a very small percentage are successful.  Instead of working on pitches, work on your core business and delight customers.
