Blue Apron's been good, but takes way too long for us to cook. I highly recommend you look into Gobble ( http://www.gobble.com ) which is as healthy, much quicker to make, and the recipes are delicious.

There is no written rule that says "each round is meant to take roughly 20% of your company", and a company is never guaranteed another round. I know several entrepreneurs who have been given term sheets for over 50% of their comp

My point is that entrepreneurs can get into jams inadvertently. If you raise $2m or $3m on uncapped, no-discount notes, you basically need to turn that into a $10m+ pre-money company upon raising your Series A. If you raise $4m or 5m+ seed,

If the deal doesn't renew in 2015, then there is a five year wind down period where Veeva can sell a limited number new licenses but still use the platform. Presumably if this happens, they'll have to rebuild it. It's address

Instead we should try thinking of them as pairs of what you're going to build, plus the unscalable thing(s) you're going to do initially to get the company going. This is probably the most important thing a new entrepreneur need
