Alan Morgan - VC Best Practices

A common start-up complaint is that the VC process is black-box. Start-up executives struggle with a seemingly arbitary process and are often frustrated by the dyanmics of raising capital from VCs.

I find the most useful VC blogs offer postings that help shed light on the process of raising money and/or share best practices on how to run start-ups, raise money, or effectively manage board of directors.

Mayfield's Alan Morgan's blog includes a series of very useful posts that are worth reading.

The first series of posts provides insight into how entrepreneurs should work with VCs during the capital raising process. Click here to read the series - Ten Commandments for Entrepreneurs.

The second post provides advice for start-up CEOs with respect to managing and working with a Board of Directors. Click here to read the post - "Managing" Your Board of Directors.
