A few lessons from this program

I have a very helpful mp3 for anyone who's thinking of raising money for a new business.

To help me prepare for the "Getting Your Startup Funded" Mixergy Forum, my friend Dan Gould spent an hour on the phone with me, walking me through me the process of getting a new business funded.

In 2004, Dan co-founded Newroo, which was acquired by Fox Interactive/MySpace in 2006. He's currently VP, Technology at FIM.

I think our call is as good as any seminar on raising money and he gave me permission to post our conversation here. So if you can't make it to my next event, listen to my call with Dan a few times.

  • This interview is really really well done. Very helpful and insightful. As a company, we are at the awkward stage of being towards the end of FFF Financing. We need ONE Angel (Fool) to build out our last piece of technology and the keys to success that you reaffirmed are dead on! It is great to hear it from others that have been through it. I appreciated all the info.

    As a company, even if you THINK you know you should listen to this because it is good info to hear all over again. You should pick up something because if you are still at this "stage" you have "something" to learn and this is a place to hear it...thank you for the time and experience. Hope to make it to LA for the Mixer...

  • Great Interview Andrew. I have listened to the hour conversation twice already. Tons of great stuff. Keep up the outstanding work.
  • Dan G
    Thanks Andrew.

    Sorry to everyone if I went on and on. I wrote down some notes before the call and only made it about 2/3 way through them. So, maybe we'll have to do a follow-up on the pitch, VC deal terms, negotiation, manging your investors, and the rest sometime...

  • This was excellent, Andrew and Dan. We at Emergencity are in the angel phase right now, and I've been on a pretty steep learning curve, myself. Everything Dan offered is right on the money and in alignment with what my very well-seasoned co-founder has told me, and I learned a few new things as well. Thanks for posting (and the heads-up on Twitter).
  • Very well done Andrew and great insight.
