why whuffie is wiserdon’t raise venture capital, raise social capital
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
the art of raising whuffie.
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
end.
