21. Advice for the Entrepreneur
• Digital NY is getting crowded with lots of startups. Be sure of your objectives and how to
achieve them.
• There is a quality group of NY-based technology focused lawyers, accountants and recruiters –
network into them.
• Not everyone will be able to sell for $100MM+ valuations. Be realistic about where you stand
on your chances.
• The scope of what is "strategic" to a buyer is constantly expanding. Make sure to keep as many
lines of communication open to large organizations.
• There are LOTS of outside capital. Think through what is the
right amount for you.
• Choosing a VC is as important as choosing a co-founder. It
could be a 5+ year relationship, so get as much outside
perspective on them as possible.
− Focus on the partner involved, not the firm overall.
