			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> <b>Order Alprazolam online cheap</b>, I'm excited to announce that Open Angel Forum is back in Boulder on the night of August 4th at 7PM.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.openangelforum.com">Open Angel Forum</a> (OAF) is dedicated to providing entrepreneurs with free and open access to the angel investors that they need.  <b>Kopen goedkope Alprazolam</b>, We are firmly committed to fighting against "pay-to-pitch" schemes.</p>
<p>The first open angel forum in Colorado was back in February of this year, and it was <a href="http://openangelforum.com/2010/02/04/oafco-had-a-blast-in-boulder/">a big hit</a>, <b>Michigan MI Mich. </b>. You can read the reactions of the companies that presented <a href="http://www.iamnotafraid.com/?p=135">here</a>, <b>Iowa IA </b>, <a href="http://www.feld.com/wp/archives/2010/02/open-angel-forum-is-off-to-a-great-start-2.html?utm_source=feedburner&amp;utm_medium=twitter&amp;utm_campaign=Feed%3A+FeldThoughts+%28Feld+Thoughts%29">here</a>, <a href="http://blog.myfacefile.com/?p=94">here</a>, <a href="http://getgrogger.com/oaf-things-getting-better-for-entrepreneurs/">here</a>, <b>comprar Alprazolam de descuento</b>, <a href="http://blog.teamsnap.com/company/teamsnap-presents-at-open-angel-forum/">here</a> or <a href="http://www.kijubi.com/blog/?p=510">here</a>. Several of them attracted new funding from that event, <b>order Alprazolam online cheap</b>.  <b>Cheap Alprazolam online cheap</b>, Open Angel Forum is different and special. Only 20 or so angels are allowed, and each of them must have made at least 4 angel investments in the last 12 months in order to attend, <b>order Alprazolam online legally</b>. Because of this, <b>Ordering Alprazolam online cheap</b>, the event is very high quality and we don't waste the entrepreneurs time. Also, the presenting companies are part of the entire social event - we basically just have dinner together and get to know each other, <b>bestill Alprazolam online</b>.  <b>Order Alprazolam online cheap</b>, Last time, the event attracted several out of state angel investors, including Dave McClure, Andy Sack, and Jason Calacanis.</p>
<p>This time, <b>Where to buy cheap Alprazolam</b>, I've scheduled Open Angel Forum on the eve of <a href="http://www.techstars.org">TechStars</a> Demo Day, which will be held the next morning. My hope is that with both events back to back, <b>αγοράζουν online Alprazolam</b>, we'll attract even more out of state investors to attend one or both events.  <b>Cheap Alprazolam online</b>, If you'd also like to attend the TechStars demo event the morning of August 5th, <a href="http://www.davidgcohen.com/contact/">drop me a note</a>. The eleven brand new TechStars companies which will be presenting on August 5 are not eligible to present at Open Angel Forum on August 4th - so you'll need to attend the event the next morning if you want to see those companies, <b>cheapest Alprazolam</b>.</p>
<p>To apply to attend Open Angel Forum as an angel investor (remember - you must have made at least 4 angel investments in the last year), <a href="http://goo.gl/SlbC">go here</a>, <b>order Alprazolam online cheap</b>. If you don't apply, <b>Oregon OR Ore. </b>, you will not receive an invitation.</p>
<p>The Open Angel Forum is sponsored nationally by SVB Accelerator and Symantec. If you're a service provider and would like to attend the event and have dinner with the companies and angel investors, <b>South Carolina SC S.C. </b>, you can purchase a <a href="http://www.eventbrite.com/event/570609709">sponsor ticket</a> (there are only 5 such seats available in order to keep the event small - that's part of the magic).  <b>Alprazolam online</b>, You will be supporting our ability to provide free and open access to angel investors for entrepreneurs by doing so.  <b>Order Alprazolam online cheap</b>, And, most importantly, If you'd like to apply to have your company present for angel investment at Open Angel Forum Colorado #2 (OAFCO2) on August 4th, <a href="http://goo.gl/lK8n">please apply here</a>. Earlier applications will receive more consideration. The deadline to apply is July 26, <b>φτηνές φαρμακείο Alprazolam</b>, 2010 at 8:00PM mountain time.  <b>Buy Alprazolam online without prescription</b>, I've included some FAQs below:</p>
<p>Q. What types of angels/companies should attend/present at OAFCO.<br />
A, <b>order Alprazolam online cheap</b>. The angel makeup so far seems to be about 80% software/IT/web and 20% other stuff, <b>αγοράσετε Alprazolam</b>. So we’ll likely shoot for 4 companies doing software/IT/web stuff and 1 doing something else.  <b>New Hampshire NH N.H. </b>, So any type of company should apply, but particularly software/web/IT companies.</p>
<p>Q, <b>cheap Alprazolam no rx</b>.  <b>Order Alprazolam online cheap</b>, I’d like to become an angel investor, but I don’t meet the requirement of having made 3 investments of note in the past 12 months. May I attend.  <b>Minnesota MN Minn. </b>, A. Please <a href="http://goo.gl/SlbC">apply</a>, and I’ll put you on the waiting list, <b>cheap Alprazolam no prescription</b>. This is not a networking event or a “learn how to angel invest” event. OAF exists to help entrepreneurs reach very active angels and as such we’ll opt for a smaller crowd of top notch / active angels, <b>order Alprazolam online cheap</b>.  <b>Colorado CO Colo. </b>, If we have a seat or two left, we’ll allow less experienced angels in based on how many deals they’ve done in the past.</p>
<p>Q, <b>buy Alprazolam online</b>. I’m just really interested in this, <b>North Carolina NC N.C. </b>, but I’m not an angel and my company isn’t pitching. May I attend.  <b>Order Alprazolam online cheap</b>, A. Yes, but you’ll have to buy a <a href="http://www.eventbrite.com/event/570609709">sponsor ticket</a>. There are only 5 of these tickets available at the moment.</p>
<p>Q. I’m a service provider locally and I’d like to support what you’re doing. May I attend, <b>order Alprazolam online cheap</b>.<br />
A. Yes, this is exactly why we have <a href="http://www.eventbrite.com/event/570609709">sponsor tickets</a> available. The event is free to the angels and free to the entrepreneurs. It’s supported by those who buy tickets.  <b>Order Alprazolam online cheap</b>, Q. What’s the format.<br />
A. The entrepreneurs and investors have dinner together, and each company makes a 5 minute presentation and 5-10 minutes of Q&A from the investors follow. Presenters must take at least one sip of beer (or their favorite beverage) during their presentation.  It’s informal and fun, and there’s plenty of time for interaction between the companies and investors, <b>order Alprazolam online cheap</b>.</p>
<p>Q. Where will this be held, and when.<br />
A. It will be downtown in Boulder. I’d tell you more, but I don’t know yet.  It will be from 7pm-930pm on August 4th.</p>

</ul></p>
<p>As with many things, it's easy to bitch, <b>acheter Alprazolam bon marché</b>. So when I heard that Jason Calacanis was attempting to actually do something about it, <b>Comprar Alprazolam de descuento</b>, my ears perked up. I started following his new concept, the <a href="http://www.openangelforum.com">Open Angel Forum</a>, <b>discount Alprazolam</b>. By email, I somehow got myself invited and I flew to LA yesterday for the inaugural Open Angel Forum, <b>discount Alprazolam</b>. It was held at a beautiful home with one of the angels playing host (thanks <a href="http://www.crunchbase.com/person/matt-coffin">Matt</a>!).  <b>Kopen goedkope Alprazolam</b>, It was a great event and both the angels and entrepreneurs <a href="http://twitter.com/#search?q=open%20angel%20forum">seemed to really love it</a>.</p>
<p>Jason describes the Open Angel Forum this way: "<em>The Open Angel Forum (OAF) is dedicated to providing entrepreneurs with free and open access to the angel investors that they need. We are firmly committed to fighting against "pay-to-pitch" schemes.</em>" You can read the <a href="http://openangelforum.com/2009/12/27/oaf-update-more-events-local-chapters-and-oaf-mission-statement/">full mission and rules here</a>, <b>acquistare a buon mercato Alprazolam</b>.  <b>Discount Alprazolam</b>, While it's hugely important that OAF is free to entrepreneurs, there are a few other things that strongly attracted me to the format of the Open Angel Forum. First, <b>Buy Alprazolam</b>, each chapter was to be organized by a well-connected angel investor and was to be limited to about 15-20 angels in attendance. Every one of those angels had to qualify as someone who has made at least four angel investments "of note" in the last 12 months. Because of this, <b>Georgia GA Ga. </b>, the turnout in LA was truly stellar.  <b>Michigan MI Mich. </b>, It wasn't just locals - many others had flown in like I had. Ron Conway, Chris Sacca, Shervin Pishevar and many more joined an awesome local crew including Mark Suster, Matt Coffin, and many more, <b>discount Alprazolam</b>.  Jason did a good job of sticking to his guns, <a href="http://twitter.com/Jason/statuses/7762896146">turning down</a> a bunch of late requests by angels to attend, <b>generic Alprazolam</b>. Because of that, <b>Alprazolam prices</b>, it was a manageable but top notch crowd of about 20 very active angels. Frankly, I was pretty blown away and honored to even be there, <b>Vermont VT Vt. </b>.</p>
<p>Next, <b>Billig Alprazolam apotek</b>, rather than some artificial process for selecting companies to pitch, the local OAF chapter just collaborates to invite companies that they're seriously considering funding.  <b>Discount Alprazolam</b>, Essentially, all the presenting companies are sponsored by one of the angels in attendance. This stops the angel group meeting from being the typical "watch and snicker" event which is not helpful to anyone, <b>cheap Alprazolam online without prescription</b>. Rather, <b>Cheap generic Alprazolam</b>, every single one of the companies presenting is a legitimate investment opportunity. Certainly, I think there's a place for "unknown" companies to present at angel groups, <b>Um Alprazolam online</b>, but I've always said that if you can't impress just one member of the group, <b>Order Alprazolam online</b>, perhaps you really shouldn't be there. Pitching to a room full of strangers is also generally not helpful. In fact, this is one of the core things we teach at <a href="http://www.techstars.org">TechStars</a> about the fundraising process, <b>discount Alprazolam</b>.</p>
<p>But then came a moment at the Open Angel Forum last night where I knew this was a fantastic event that had to be replicated, <b>cheap Alprazolam no rx</b>. I think it was the founder of <a href="http://www.backupify.com/">Backupify</a>, <b>Bestill Alprazolam online</b>, who, right in the middle of his pitch took a swig from his beer. I remember thinking to myself "I've never seen THAT at an angel event before." Trivial right, <b>ordering Alprazolam online without prescription</b>. I don't think so - this was the first angel event that I've ever attended where the entrepreneurs who were presenting actually seemed comfortable.  <b>Discount Alprazolam</b>, Relaxed even.  <b>För Alprazolam online</b>, I think it was a tribute to the atmosphere. Sipping your beer while presenting sort of became an instant tradition at OAF.</p>
<p>I'm proud to announce that Jason has asked me to run the Colorado chapter of Open Angel Forum, <b>köpa Alprazolam</b>. I instantly jumped at the chance to try this in Colorado, <b>For Alprazolam online</b>, and I fully intend to transplant the "sip of beer" tradition here. I'm announcing today that the first Open Angel Forum Colorado (OAFCO) event will be held on February 3rd in Boulder, <b>discount Alprazolam</b>. Jason Calacanis will be attending in order to help us kick it off right, and I've also talked him into talking about the Open Angel Forum and why startups should avoid paying to pitch at the <a href="http://www.bdnewtech.com/">February 2nd New Tech Meetup</a>, <b>buy Alprazolam no prescription</b>.</p>
<p>At the first OAFCO event on the evening of February 3rd, <b>Pharmacie Alprazolam bon marché</b>, we expect a similar format: 10-15 angels and 5 companies. If you'd like to attend as an angel investor, <a href="http://www.davidgcohen.com/contact/">please let me know</a>.  Likewise, if you'd like to present your company at the first OAFCO event, <a href="https://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?formkey=dDNrck51QTkyZjdpZnlrWTI2NGEyVWc6MA">please fill out this form</a>.  <b>Discount Alprazolam</b>, Note that presenting companies and angels don't have to be from Colorado. Like the LA event, I'm hopeful that we'll have great angels and companies from all over the country at the first Colorado meeting.  If it's interesting to you, come join me, Jason Calacanis, Brad Feld, and many more investors at this special first OAFCO meeting in Colorado. There are also tickets available for service providers  - as Jason explains on the Open Angel Forum web site - this is how the event is supported. Only five tickets are available, so if you'd like to attend and help sponsor the event, <a href="http://oafcolorado1.eventbrite.com/">head here</a> before they're gone.</p>
<p>I'm excited to try this new format out here in Colorado, <b>discount Alprazolam</b>. There are a bunch of other chapters being started in cities all over the country, but I won't steal their thunder. Suffice it to say that each chapter is being run by some great local investors. So again, I feel honored to be given the baton for Colorado.</p>
<p>I'd welcome your thoughts in the comments.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> <b>Order Alprazolam online without prescription</b>, I'm a guest lecturer for an executive MBA class at Denver University later today.  <b>Kjøp Discount Alprazolam</b>, I was asked to talk about Internet business models (among other things), so I thought I'd take a look at the 39 companies that have been through <a href="http://www.techstars.org">TechStars</a> to give them a sense of the relative popularity of various business models, <b>Colorado CO Colo. </b>.  <b>Hawaii HI </b>, I think this represents a fairly decent cross section of reality, since about 75% of these companies have raised outside funding after TechStars ended, <b>buy generic Alprazolam</b>.  <b>Pharmacy Alprazolam</b>, Some of these are open to interpretation or are really a hybrid of a couple of forms. My categories might be somewhat arbitrary, <b>buy Alprazolam pills</b>. But here's the data as I see it:</p>
<p><strong>SaaS (33%)</strong> - These companies sell their product to customers via the web, and don't bother with a "try before you buy" product, <b>order Alprazolam online without prescription</b>.  <b>Order Alprazolam without prescription</b>, Examples include <a href="http://www.rezora.com">Rezora</a>, <a href="http://www.sendgrid.com">SendGrid</a> and <a href="http://www.filtrbox.com">Filtrbox</a>, <b>Kansas KS Kans. </b>.  <b>Farmacia Alprazolam baratos</b>, <strong>Freemium (20%)</strong> - These companies give away a free product, and then try to upsell more sophisticated features or solutions on top of that, <b>buy Alprazolam without prescription</b>.  <b>Ordering Alprazolam online</b>, Check out <a href="http://www.baydin.com">Baydin</a> and <a href="http://www.timzon.com">TimZon</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Sell Installed App (5%)</strong> - I broke this out from SaaS, <b>where to buy cheap Alprazolam</b>, <b>Virginia VA Va. </b>, because these companies are actually selling software that is licensed and physically installed.  <b>Order Alprazolam online without prescription</b>, Subtle difference these days. A good example is <a href="http://www.redlaser.com">RedLaser</a> from Occipital, <b>Florida FL Fla. </b>.  <b>Montana MT Mont. </b>, If you add the three approaches above together, <strong>you get 58%</strong>, <b>kjøpe Alprazolam online</b>.  <b>Köpa billiga Alprazolam</b>, So well more than half of the companies we've funded are ultimately selling software to people who pay for it. Novel idea, <b>cheapest Alprazolam</b>, <b>Pennsylvania PA Penn. </b>, huh.</p>
<p><strong>Gather/sell eyeballs (18%)</strong> - You might call this the "advertising" model, or the "<a href="http://www.feld.com/wp/archives/2008/03/the-underpants-gnomes-applied-to-vc-backed-companies.html">underpants</a>" model, <b>order Alprazolam online without prescription</b>. Some call it "audience aggregation", <b>New York NY N.Y. </b>.  <b>New Hampshire NH N.H. </b>, Some of the companies which achieved early exits were in this category (<a href="http://www.socialthing.com">Socialthing</a>, <a href="http://www.intensedebate.com">Intense Debate</a>), <b>Alprazolam for sale</b>, <b>Utah UT </b>, but it's quite risky too. Often, <b>Alprazolam pedido en línea</b>, <b>φτηνές φαρμακείο Alprazolam</b>, companies doing this initially have other models in mind once they reach a critical mass but can't use that approach early on because they don't have enough scale.</p>
<p><strong>Marketplace (13%)</strong> - These companies try to aggregate buyers and sellers, and generally take commissions or service fees for providing the marketplace.  <a href="http://www.foodzie.com">Foodzie</a> and <a href="http://www.oneforty.com">oneforty</a> <b>Order Alprazolam online without prescription</b>, are examples.</p>
<p><strong>Lead Gen (5%)</strong> - These companies often provide a valuable free service, and then provide qualified leads to buyers. This is very similar to the Freemium model, except that the upsell is not more software, it's other services or software provided by someone else.</p>
<p><strong>Virtual Goods (2%)</strong> - This model typically involves providing a game or other interesting virtual environment and then selling virtual goods in that environment. J-Squared Media's <a href="http://apps.facebook.com/miniplanet/">MiniPlanet</a> is a strong example.</p>
<p><strong>Crowdsourcing (SaaS) (2%)</strong> - These companies use the power of a large distributed workforce, often to do things that computers can't do automatically or efficiently, <b>order Alprazolam online without prescription</b>. Typically they ultimately deliver a service to the customer. <a href="http://www.reteltechnologies.com/how-it-works/">Retel Technologies</a> is a good example.</p>
<p><strong>Content Production (2%)</strong> - Although it's a perennially unpopular approach with investors, these companies create content and then attract an audience for that content, typically selling advertising inventory targeted at the audience or subscriptions. Howard Lindzon's <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/wallstrip">WallStrip</a> is an example of this approach that worked well.</p>
<p><strong>Enterprise 2.0 (0%)</strong> - I was surprised to see that we haven't funded any companies (yet) that are taking web 2.0 consumer technologies and applying them to enterprise settings. Some companies I know of that are doing these sorts of things are <a href="http://www.yammer.com">Yammer</a> and <a href="http://www.brainpark.com">Brainpark</a>, as examples.</p>
<p>So there you have it. If you'd categorize the models differently, please let me know in the comments.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> <b>Order Alprazolam no rx</b>, Two days ago, I lamented about how much of a <a href="http://www.coloradostartups.com/2009/03/27/you-kids-and-your-llcs/">pain LLCs can be for investors</a>.  <b>Order Alprazolam online</b>, The <a href="http://www.coloradostartups.com/2009/03/27/you-kids-and-your-llcs/#comments">comments</a> were lively.</p>
<p>Many people pointed out the "double taxation" issue involved with C corporations, <b>pharmacy Alprazolam</b>.  <b>Alprazolam farmacia a buon mercato</b>, C Corporations pay taxes and then when money is removed from the corporation to the investors or founders, another round of taxes is imposed, <b>ordering Alprazolam</b>.  <b>Wisconsin WI Wis. </b>, On the surface, this is a good argument for an LLC but it turns out to not have much of an impact in reality much of the time, <b>order Alprazolam online</b>.</p>
<p>The other issue that people pointed out is that valuable losses can be passed through to the personal taxes of the investors and founders with an LLC, <b>order Alprazolam no rx</b>.  <b>Ordering Alprazolam no rx</b>, While this is also true under ideal circumstances, it turns out to not be true at all in most common cases, <b>Montana MT Mont. </b>.  <b>Hawaii HI </b>, Victor Fleischer reached out to me by email with a thorough research paper called "<a href="http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=432840">The Rational Exuberance of Structuring Venture Capital Startups</a>" he had written on this very topic in 2003. I found it to be very educational and I think you will too, <b>Maine ME Me. </b>.  <b>Alprazolam pedido en línea</b>, It's absolutely worth a full read (10 minutes or so) - and it's not as long as it looks because there are many detailed footnotes and supporting references.  <b>Order Alprazolam no rx</b>, Here's the gist of his paper as I read it. Many observers of the venture capital industry believe that VCs ignore LLCs primarily because C corporations are the devil they know, <b>Arkansas AR Ark. </b>, <b>Rabatt kaufen Alprazolam</b>, and secondarily because they're focused on gains only and are not typically major participants in losses (since they are investing other peoples money and not their own, primarily), <b>ordering Alprazolam without prescription</b>.  <b>Nebraska NE Nebr. </b>, This paper goes a long way towards showing why professional investors prefer C corporations and includes many potential surprises such as:<ul>	<li>Tax losses are often not as valuable as they seem on paper as tax rules prohibit many investors (and entrepreneurs) from capturing the full benefit of the losses.</li>	<li>Corporations are less complex than partnerships. "Friction" costs associated with LLCs may make legal costs substantially higher over time for LLCs.</li>	<li>Gains are taxed more favorably when companies are organized as C corporations from the beginning (vs converting late, <b>ostaa halvalla Alprazolam</b>, <b>Buy cheap Alprazolam</b>, if that is even legally possible).</li>	<li>Employee compensation issues are much more complex with an LLC than a corporation. This can cost more and can devalue "options" equivalents coming from LLCs.</li></ul>In short, <b>Mississippi MS Miss. </b>, <b>Missouri MO Mo. </b>, at least in my mind, much of the argument for LLCs as being more tax efficient ends up being an illusion and only true "on paper."</p>
<p>I hope that this starts another big argument, <b>comprare Alprazolam sconto</b>.  Blogging is for learning, and your comments and participation are really helping me learn, <b>order Alprazolam no rx</b>.  <b>Buy Alprazolam cheap</b>, I thank you for that.</p>
<p>Keep in mind the paper is a little old and some tax laws may have changed in the interim, <b>Alprazolam pharmacy</b>.  <b>Cheap Alprazolam online legally</b>, As always, consult your attorney and accountant as I'm no tax lawyer, <b>Massachusetts MA Mass. </b>.  <b>Order Alprazolam online cheap</b>, Incidentally, Victor is returning to CU as an Associate Professor at the law school this June. I'm glad to welcome him back to Boulder after he spent the last few years at the University of Illinois College of Law. I'm excited that he'll be an asset to the local entrepreneurial community once again.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> I received this question today via email:</p>
<p><blockquote> <b>Buy Alprazolam online legally</b>, ... I am a young entrepreneur...  <b>Order Alprazolam from canada</b>, I am currently involved in a... start up... We are currently in the process of raising a friends and family round of funding, <b>cheap Alprazolam no prescription</b>, and right now we are struggling with the valuation. I am looking at the <a href="http://www.techstars.org">TechStars</a> framework (a $300,000 post-money, if my math is right) because it appears outwardly that we are at a similar stage of business development compared to the TechStars companies, <b>buy Alprazolam online legally</b>.  <b>Goedkope Alprazolam apotheek</b>, However, I would like to confirm with you what stage a typical company is when they apply for TechStars. We currently have a BETA test version of our website up with 1700 members, <b>For Alprazolam online</b>, and we pull about 2000 uniques per month.  <b>Rabatt kaufen Alprazolam</b>, I am wondering if we are on par with a 300K post-money.<br />
</blockquote></p>
<p>I'll come at this answer two different ways.  <b>Buy Alprazolam online legally</b>, First, I'll address the flawed thinking inherent in simply comparing your company to another known data point based solely upon valuation. Second, <b>Osta Alprazolam online</b>, I'll address the question of how to think about and possibly determine a fair valuation, <b>Comprar Alprazolam</b>, especially in the peculiar context of a friends and family round.</p>
<p>TechStars is providing much more than just money. It's providing access to extensive mentorship, <b>ordering Alprazolam online without prescription</b>, a very large network, <b>Lowest price Alprazolam</b>, a community of startups, office space, legal work and other free services, <b>buy Alprazolam without prescription</b>, a platform for credibility, <b>Buy Alprazolam no rx</b>, and access and opportunity with literally hundreds of investors.  It's unlikely that friends and family will bring the same resources to bear. It's more likely that they're simply bringing money, <b>buy Alprazolam online legally</b>. Clearly, <b>Alprazolam online stores</b>, it's not going to be an apples to apples comparison.  <b>Vermont VT Vt. </b>, So in order to compare a TechStars valuation to a friends and family valuation, you first need to somehow determine the value of all of the things that TechStars brings to the table. Unfortunately, <b>köpa Alprazolam online</b>, this is not easy to do.  <b>Kentucky KY Ky. </b>, The value is in the eye of the beholder.  <b>Buy Alprazolam online legally</b>, But clearly, a simple comparison is flawed thinking.</p>
<p>More broadly, the lesson here is that <em>you can't simply compare valuations</em> in any context, <b>Wisconsin WI Wis. </b>. Valuations tell only a small part of the story.  <b>Alprazolam online cheap</b>, "When" matters: Consider the average startup valuation a year ago vs. today. "Who" matters: Consider Bill Gates doing his next startup that is exactly like yours, vs you doing it, <b>buy Alprazolam online legally</b>. Or consider who the investors are, <b>order Alprazolam without prescription</b>. Investors who bring more to the table might well deserve a lower valuation.  <b>Order Alprazolam</b>, Even "Where" matters: The same startup in Silicon Valley is probably going to draw a higher valuation than if it were located in rural Iowa.</p>
<p>Now that I've cleared that up (I hope) and all the readers from Iowa are gone, let's address the part of the question pertaining to coming up with a valuation for friends and family, <b>comprar Alprazolam baratos</b>.  <b>Buy Alprazolam online legally</b>, This is really tricky, because in my experience it's very easy to drive an extremely high valuation in these scenarios. Usually, <b>Alprazolam farmacia a buon mercato</b>, friends and family are investing in you, and will not pay so much attention to the valuation. They'll often trust your judgment above theirs (which is part of what makes them "non-professional investors"), <b>billig Alprazolam apotek</b>. Depending on all of the factors I've described above, <b>Cheap Alprazolam overnight delivery</b>, typical web company startup valuations run somewhere in the $1M-$3M range, pre-money. From what little context I have from the email, <b>order Alprazolam no prescription</b>, I'm guessing the startup in question would be valued on the low end of that range, <b>Acheter Alprazolam discount</b>, assuming investors wanted to do the deal in the first place. With professional investors (angels and venture capitalists) this simply turns into a negotiation, <b>buy Alprazolam online legally</b>. There is no magic formula - it's simply a number that both parties can agree to. But with friends and family, given the dynamic, I generally recommend a completely different approach.</p>
<p>With friends and family investors, the right approach for companies that think they may want to raise more money in the future is almost always going to be to use convertible debt. Instead of issuing equity, you can simply document it as a loan to be repaid with interest potentially with a right to have their money "converted" at the next value event (funding or acquisition) based on the valuation that is assigned at that point.  <b>Buy Alprazolam online legally</b>, Often, a small discount (10-25%) will be offered so that early investor gets additional equity at that point as compared to those bringing in the new money.  The benefit here is that the valuation at this next value event will typically be assigned (and negotiated) by an acquirer or by professional investors. It avoids the whole messy discussion of valuation with friends and family, and feels "fair." The other benefit is that it's likely that venture investors are going to want to buy out any friends and family investors when they do a large financing. Using a debt instrument makes this an easy step, while still rewarding your early friends and family investors.</p>
<p>Now, you may be wondering if this advice is in conflict with other advice you might have heard about "misalignment of interests".  After all, if you raise a debt round, isn't it going to be in your investors best interests to keep your next valuation <em>as low as possible</em>, so that they get the maximum effect from conversion, <b>buy Alprazolam online legally</b>.  The answer is yes, which is why I generally recommend and use preferred equity in most of the deals that I participate in. However, I'd submit to you that in the case of friends and family, they're unlikely to take that point of view for the same reasons that they're unlikely to push valuation as an issue in the first place. Finally, another benefit is that it's less expensive to create legal documentation for a debt financing than for an equity financing.</p>
<p>In summary, I generally recommend using a debt instrument for a friends and family round. I also think that it's critically important to look at much more than the valuation in order to truly understand any equity financing.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> <a href="http://www.avc.com/a_vc/2008/11/a-slightly-diff.html">Fred Wilson's post</a> amplifying <a href="http://jeffnolan.com/wp/2008/11/12/the-vc-model-is-broken-again/">Jeff Nolan's post</a> about the "broken" VC model says about venture capital investing what I was <a href="http://bit.ly/16HGU">trying to say</a> <b>Cheap Clonazepam from mexico</b>, about angel investing at Ignite Boulder. Both made the point far more eloquently than I did, <b>Om Clonazepam online</b>, <b>Missouri MO Mo. </b>, even though I was given five minutes. My point at Ignite was that most (the vast majority) of angel investors will never make any money by doing it, <b>Clonazepam en ligne afin</b>.  <b>Köpa Clonazepam online</b>, It's hard (and takes alot of work) to be in that group of 10-20% of angel investors who do make money.</p>
<p>I'm in Toronto today speaking at Canada's startup conference, <b>kopen goedkope Clonazepam</b>, <b>αγοράσετε Clonazepam έκπτωση</b>, <a href="http://www.startupempire.ca/">Startup Empire</a>. My presentation is called "Boulder, TechStars, and Why Venture Capital doesn't have to matter."   In general, I think that entrepreneurs put far too much weight on the availability of venture capital, <b>cheap Clonazepam from mexico</b>. Worse, <b>where to buy cheap Clonazepam</b>, <b>Cheap Clonazepam</b>, they put too much mental energy into it.  I've been pitched many ideas over the last 3 or 4 years that always start with "get venture capital". These business plans fundamentally depend upon venture capital (even prior to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gnomes_(South_Park_episode)">collecting underpants</a>), <b>ordering Clonazepam from canada</b>, <b>Clonazepam pills</b>, causing many of them to never even get off the ground. The availability of venture capital cannot be your barometer, <b>billige Clonazepam Apotheke</b>.  <b>Cheapest Clonazepam online</b>, My presentation in Toronto today argues that (based on raw data) it's mathmatically 100 times harder to raise venture capital in Toronto than it is in tiny little Boulder, Colorado.  But my point is that whether your chances are 0.5% or 0.005%, <b>New York NY N.Y. </b>, <b>Minnesota MN Minn. </b>, does it really matter.  <b>Cheap Clonazepam from mexico</b>, Are you really going to focus your efforts there unless you have some of the things that improve your chances dramatically, such as a track record or a truly-world changing technology.</p>
<p>If you're a first time entrepreneur with no big wins under your belt and no special relationships, <b>order Clonazepam online</b>, <b>Order Clonazepam without prescription</b>, it's time to stop deluding yourself. Focus on your product and your customers, <b>Clonazepam pedido en línea</b>, <b>North Dakota ND </b>, not venture capital.</p>
<p>Don't let the down economy stop you from starting a business right now, <b>South Carolina SC S.C. </b>.  <b>District of Columbia DC D.C. </b>, That's an excuse, and entreprenurship is about breaking through excuses, <b>Rhode Island RI R.I. </b>.  <b>Order Clonazepam</b>, Sure, it's hard to raise money from VCs (it always has been) and it's also hard to raise money from angels (and it always has been) and it's hard to build a business from the ground up (and it always has been).  It always will be, <b>North Carolina NC N.C. </b>, <b>Kentucky KY Ky. </b>, but you can do it.</p>
