If the VC Model Is Broken, Then What? How About: Be Special!

I can’t help but shake my head a little when I read that 52.9% of VCs think that their own approach is broken. Why are VC’s so concerned, you ask? Well, we’ve been talking about this issue a lot lately, but it all boils down to finding the next buyer who’s willing to pay more for the business than they did… and those hopes are vanishing:

Fifty three percent of VC’s say that they are “very worried” about when the IPO and M&A markets will return.

So what can you do about this as an entrepreneur? How about focus on your business? How about making money the old fashioned way? Earn it!

Personally, I’m really looking forward to tomorrow’s Small and Special conference, where some of the brightest minds in the Seattle entrepreneurial scene will be getting together to exchange ideas, best practices, and inspiring stories about how they’re building businesses by focusing on what’s important: great products that matter to real customers.

I hope to see you there!
