Some Gems at Rick Segal’s VC Roundtable in Victoria
I had a chance to attend Rick Segal’s VC Roundtable on the 21st. Rick does an excellent job of making venture capital approachable. I was really impressed.
I have a bad habit of being like a kid in a candy store when ideas are being thrown around. I need to focus on the 1 or at most 3 key things I can take away, and change how I do things. So I will try with this;
- Protect your angel’s ability to profit - Convertible Debentures
- Get to NO quickly!
- Your pitch must include “What must I believe, to invest?”
There was plenty more in the 2 hour talk but those are the three that stand out for me.
I managed to find some photo’s of the event taken by Tris Hussey. Unfortunately, or fortunately, depending on how you look at it, the best one I could find of me was of the back of my head.
I’ll be working hard on some updates to Kountr based on what I heard at the event, and will contact Rick about a no harm no foul in the next couple months.
