VentureBeat had a piece earlier this month on fundraising: Startup Fundraising 101. The author, Bernard Moon, has been through three startups now.

The piece is an interesting, fairly personal account of what's involved in getting cash for a startup. And it comes complete with presentation slides. It's sage advice...

Obviously, startup costs vary greatly depending on industry. Just remember to have enough runway to raise your next round and not lose momentum. Also, expect unexpected costs. Adding a 30 percent buffer to your financial projection can be a lifesaver.

The piece is worth reading.

Thats cool... really good. I agree this statement...

Nice read, especially the part about chemistry between startup partners. Makes a big difference. Needs to be either one guy who's the alpha dog or if that's not the case, then there should be clearly defined markers staking out territory or each partner to be the boss in his field of expertise.
