The list of ‘50 questions you should ask before raising venture capital’
If you’ve been following this blog over the last couple of days you will know that along with Nicholas Lovell I’ve started a series of posts answering the fifty questions you should ask before raising venture capital. This post explains the series in more detail yesterday I wrote the first in the series, an introductory post answering the question “What is venture capital?”.
Today we are publishing the list of questions, or rather the first draft of the list (which only has 46 questions). It got much better last week when we solicited feedback from a couple of friends and I hope it will again with your help. If you have anything to add please let us know in the comments.
