it's not all fun

yeah it's been a while since i've posted. no excuses. i've been lazy, and postponed writing something meaningful in a while.

so about the title, i was at the Elevator Pitch Roundtable organized by VCTaskforce (I started as a volunteer there about a month back), and it was good to see things from both sides, i.e. both from an entrepreneur's and a VC's perspective. i've met with VCs in the past, presented to them, and fielded questions. sure i had my opinions ("how could they not like MY idea!", "they have no clue about the killer app i'm building", etc), but watching these VCs sit thru 9 one-minute presentations and offer critiques, i got a glimpse of what it must be like to be in their shoes. they probably go thru 3 times as many proposals every day. not an easy job. not when your competitor VC closed a deal 5 years ago with this internet company that's just gone IPO.

i thought to myself ... "it's not all fun". but hey, would it be worth the effort if it was :-)
