dude.

that sucks.

raise social capital (whuffie) instead.

it doesn’t suck as bad

you don’t have to give up financial chunks of your company

you get to make new friends

it takes more time than money

raise your whuffie and you will raise your negotiating power

be a better listener

be part of the community you serve

embrace the chaos

build crazy, awesome stuff

be open and transparent

work with other startups towards a better user experience

dedicate time and energy to causes you are passionate about

have lots of fun

raising venture capital is totally not that much fun

let the VCs come to you
