How to convince venture capitalists NOT to invest in your startup
I'm a firm believer that you can learn something from anyone. So last week, when I had the opportunity to discuss a web site project with someone, I decided to hear him out. After talking with him for 15 minutes, I realized that this was a startup that I simply wanted nothing to do with. Here are a few "common sense" things to keep in mind when trying to raise capital through venture capitalists (aka angel investors):

"Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes ... the ones who see things differently -- they're not fond of rules, and they have no respect for the status quo. ... You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can't do is ignore them because they change things. ... They push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the people who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do."
