Too Long; Didn't Read
<span>We</span> all follow the tech news closely. At the time of writing this post, <a href="http://techcrunch.com" target="_blank">Techcrunch’s</a> front page has 6 stories about startups raising VC funding, 1 story about a later stage company starting to invest in startups, and 1 story about a VC firm having raised a new fund. The headlines about money are mixed with a couple of articles around recent developments for well-known companies, a smartphone review and (ironically) a story around a recent partner promotion at a VC firm. It’s clear that the combination of startups + $ generates interest within our community. 🤑 And a lot of the time, as a small unknown startup, getting VC funding is one of the few tactics around to gain some journalistic interest for your business.
