VC blogs for entrepreneurs

I wish more VCs blogged often and in detail.  There’s already a critical mass of VC bloggers, sufficient that smart entrepreneurs have plenty of data points giving insight into the VC process like never before, so it’s not that.

It’s that there’s a disproportionately small amount of VC blogging coming out of Silicon Valley based VCs.  I have a pretty comprehensive list of RSS feeds from VC blogs and the regulars are mainly (though not exclusively) non-valley.  That’s a shame, as I think you gain a real insight into the individual when a VC blogs regularly.

Why do so many entrepreneurs have VC issues?

My Monday morning begins with catching up on a bunch of VC blogs and other start-up-related feeds.  I think there’s a wealth of knowledge being communicated daily to entrepreneurs, but many won’t touch it for some reason.

First on my reader today was Fred Destin asking why entrepreneurs hate VCs.  It’s something that annoys me when I talk with fellow entrepreneurs - this anti-VC thread, almost as though we’re all supposed to join in venting about how bad they are.  I’ve been told I have VC Stockholm syndrome when I suggest that perhaps it’s worth working a little towards accommodating the VC occasionally isn’t a bad thing.  Maybe that’s true.  Maybe it’s just that I have tried to put time and effort into understanding what VCs need out of me and my company in order to mutually align goals and increase my chances of success in building a billion dollar company and changing the world.  Maybe both.
