Derisking Your Business Model Dream It July 2008 V2.1 http://www.slideshare.net/sbarsh/derisking-your-business-model-dream-it-july-2008-v21
This presentation was made at DreamIt Ventures in July 2008. It discusses approaches entrepreneurs can use to "de-risk" their business plan, idea, service, or product before raising substantial sums of money (e.g, VC investment). Many entrepreneurs don’t realize that there are many "out of box" ideas and techniques they can use to reduce risk in their business idea without spending or seeking significant capital investment. Finally, by applying the techniques and checklists included in this presentation, entrepreneurs will be much more likely to secure angel or venture capital investments.

Why Many Entrepreneurs "Miss The VC Boat" and What To Do About It - Supernova 2008 http://www.slideshare.net/sbarsh/why-many-entrepreneurs-miss-the-vc-boat-and-what-to-do-about-it-supernova-2008
I am going to do this quick 10 minute presentation at Supernova 2008 on Wednesday, June 18, 2008 in San Francisco. Here is the presentation via SlideShare. I’ll blog the details of what’s behind the slides at a later date... The point of this presentation is that over the last few months I’ve seen many early stage companies making the same mistakes, and these are mistakes that I don’t typically see covered in the blogosphere. So, I wanted to move the ball forward and share a few tricks/techniques that I think nearly any early stage company can use immediately.]]>
