How to convince venture capitalists NOT to invest in your startup
I'm a firm believer that you can learn something from anyone. So last week, when I had the opportunity to discuss a web site project with someone, I decided to hear him out. After talking with him for 15 minutes, I realized that this was a startup that I simply wanted nothing to do with. Here are a few "common sense" things to keep in mind when trying to raise capital through venture capitalists (aka angel investors):

“If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks…will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered…. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs.”
– Thomas Jefferson in the debate over the Re-charter of the Bank Bill (1809)
