It's easier, it's faster, you'll get a better valuation, and more help from your investors. Start with an "advisory board" of 6-8 seasoned business people who are well connected and willing to help you find investors and build your company. Give them some equity in return for their help. (I think 1% equity for 2-3 years of assistance is good for an early stage company). Some of them may end up investing in your company; others will open doors for you that lead to capital."</blockquote> <br /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8615157-109941700331062754?l=quinsetadvisory.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Jim Burschhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06161982479384873439noreply@blogger.com17tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8615157.post-1099328395800698262004-11-01T08:58:00.000-08:002004-11-01T08:59:55.800-08:00<a href="http://www.lucasfiles.com/index.php?s=&action=feature&id=7">Need to study this</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8615157-109932839580069826?l=quinsetadvisory.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Jim Burschhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06161982479384873439noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8615157.post-1099089738213083972004-10-29T15:40:00.000-07:002004-10-29T15:42:18.213-07:00<a href="http://textamerica.com/mobinfo.aspx">Just learned about moblogs</a> -- cell phone photo blogs. <br /> <br />Excellent candidate for a contest.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8615157-109908973821308397?l=quinsetadvisory.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Jim Burschhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06161982479384873439noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8615157.post-1099071782545106402004-10-29T10:42:00.000-07:002004-10-29T10:43:02.546-07:00<a href="http://www.siliconbeat.com/entries/2004/10/29/the_guru_from_google_holds_court.html">The Guru from Google holds court</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8615157-109907178254510640?l=quinsetadvisory.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Jim Burschhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06161982479384873439noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8615157.post-1098916596047338692004-10-27T15:18:00.000-07:002004-10-27T15:37:25.026-07:00Here is a list of posts on my personal blog on the subject of Quinset. <br /> <br /><ul> <li><a href="http://jimbursch.blogspot.com/2004/09/going-public-with-business-plan.html">Going public with a business plan</a></li> <li><a href="http://jimbursch.blogspot.com/2004/09/sensible-advice.html">Sensible advice</a></li> <li><a href="http://jimbursch.blogspot.com/2004/10/feedback-on-quinset.html">Feedback on Quinset</a></li> <li><a href="http://jimbursch.blogspot.com/2004/10/genesis-of-quinset.html">Genesis of Quinset</a></li> <li><a href="http://jimbursch.blogspot.com/2004/10/whats-in-name.html">What's in a name?</a></li> <li><a href="http://jimbursch.blogspot.com/2004/10/ahh-validation-ill-take-it.html">Ahh, validation.

Members must be interested in seeing Quinset succeed. <br />2. Members must be willing (or at least not ashamed) to have their name and reputation associated with Quinset. <br /> <br />Members of the advisory board are invited and encouraged to post to this blog in any manner they see fit. <br /> <br />Go nuts.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8615157-109710125924867299?l=quinsetadvisory.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Jim Burschhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06161982479384873439noreply@blogger.com1
