Hello Robert, To respond to your comment about Skype call recording quality when using the Evoca call recorder: We (Evoca) use the highest Skype call quality available on any given Skype call for creating the call recording with the Evoca call recorder Here is a useful article with ideas for improving your Skype calls: http://www.geeks.com/techti.... You can also pass on this information to the people you are interviewing since the quality of an interview, essentially a conference call, is dependent on all parties to the call. Let me know if you experience an improvement in your call recording with Evoca by trying any of these methods. You may have noticed that Evoca (www.evoca.com) is the only in-client Skype call recording partner -- no SW downloads or updates are ever required. Because --- everyone's voice counts, Murem

Terrific series Cindy! Thanks for continuing to apply your PHD - Persistence, Hard Work and Determination - to advance ventures in Georgia and beyond. Your comment on women-founded and managed tech ventures is sad but true. Changing that outcome starts with girls and women embracing the use of technologies in their work and personal lives. Let's stop saying "Well, I'm not very tech savvy". Get tech savvy by taking advantage of every course, seminar, and hands on session with geek friends.

Bill, valuable advice - thanks. One more from me: When you receive an email that merits a response but you're in email scanning mode, hit "reply" to save it in your draft folder. Then later on when you've allocated time for email responses, the important ones will be there to handle. Murem

Re: The Foursquare "Crush"

jerrycolonna — Sun, 06 Sep 2009 07:16:38 -0000

I'm late to the party here and so many people have made good points on both sides of the "discussion." But in the end I have to agree completely with your "strategy" regardless of whether it was deliberate or not. Being open makes the entire process company/entrepreneur focused and the only downsides (increased competition, potentially higher price) are entirely short-term. It's not instinctive, of course. The first instinct is to "protect" your "discovery" as if it were a gold mining claim or something. But among the many, many upsides to being this transparent is that it encourages the participation by additional investors. And being dominated by any one investor group--even folks as great as USV or Foundry--is not in the long term best interest of the company. Congrats on winning the deal but more important congrats on being real and authentic.

Late to this post, Charlie...I found it through your comment on Fred's blog. You're spot on, though. I disagree with you in one small way: paying money to present IS a sort of filter...if you do it, than I--as an angel investor--will question your judgment. Okay, that's harsh...I understand the pressure to raise money. But still.

Just for the record, Fred was (and remains) one of the smartest VCs I've ever worked with. He taught me volumes about how to understand an investment's potential and, more important, how to actually realize that return.
