Some investors are way cool

Wow, I just came out of a long meeting with a prospective group of investors and I have to say I am thoroughly impressed. Not by their financial savvy, or their sleekness. It is way cool when you meet an investor who has such a deep understanding of your business. Suddenly, as an exec, you feel liberated that you don’t have to have all the answers, and that if you face a tough decision you’re not alone.

They become a strategic asset that goes well beyond the money.

I guess any experienced entrepreneur knows this, it’s just that I had never been exposed directly to it myself.
