Editor's Notes

- These companies are past concept stage and have developed with some seed money and are now looking for their first round venture funding. Companies that we worked with in the past included: Fizzy Lizzy, a carbonated juice (not soft drink) that can be found in Citrella, Eli’s and other healthy food stores. Wakozi is seamlessweb for beer liquor or convenience items. Rights Flow… HopStop…
- Raise $$$ - very difficult, 20-30% of General Partner time spent, Find companies to invest in (sourcing) Close deals Invest time/effort to help grow companies Get firms to exit
- VC funds are like an upside down pyramid – more top heavy with partners, few associates/analysts Harder to get a post-MBA associate/sr. associate role than pre-MBA roles (fewer of them, many people want them)

- RecyleBank has cleared nearly $100M in venture funding… Hycrete, makers of a specialized concrete, cleared $15M in their most recent round… And just yesterday, Organic Motion was named the winner of the Wall Street Journal’s 9 th Annual Innovation Award for Computing Systems. Organic Motion has actually worked with InSITE twice. They began in our traditional program, and came back a year later for a custom consulting project. We try to maintain our relationships with our companies, and clearly they feel we add more value that just putting them in front of a VC…
