Every once in a while you run into a great video that explains things very clearly. I keep coming back to one that I saw last November. The video is a recording of the “Funding Your Dream” panel at Garage’s “Art of the Start” Conference. The speakers are:

• Daniel Ahn, Managing Director - Woodside Fund
• Susan Mason, General Partner - Onset Ventures
• Chris Moran, General Manager - Applied Ventures
• Warren Packard, Managing Director - Draper Fisher Jurvetson
• Ian Sobieski, Founder and Managing Director - Band of Angels Fund

If you have not seen it, it is well worth the 54 minutes. Topics include:

• Getting to venture capitalists
• How to make a presentation
• The optimal length of a business plan
• How to handle the valuation process
• Role changes in the founding team
