Rejected by your closest allies

You remember the first time you asked someone for money when you were trying to raise for your first start-up?

Remember how much that rejection stung because they didn’t think your idea was valuable?

As an entrepreneur-in-residence, with some experience behind you, maybe a couple of successes, imagine the pressure to “get it right” when you approach VCs you have been seen almost every day for the past six months turn you down.

Don’t approach the offer of an EIR position lightly.
