		<description>Great post with great thoughts. As an entrepreneur you like to think that what you&#039;re doing is great, but to ask yourself &quot;unblinding&quot; questions, as I call them, require you to really get to the guts of WHY you&#039;re in biz, and WHY anyone should invest.</description>

		<description>I like how you bring to light the importance of your 2nd or 3rd round of capital raising before the 1st round... I know I&#039;d feel better knowing any VC investment I&#039;d make has a greater chance of appreciating in market value on following-on offerings.

I think I could park my mind on several of your questions...as &quot;question launch pads&quot; to help steer our biz into the next additional zero in our revenues.

Thanks!

		<description>Great post - I couldn&#039;t agree more.  Particularly with the point on revenue projections.  Everyone can imagine a big number, but the path to get there is far more important.</description>
