Filed in archive Venture Capital by tj on February 24, 2005

Tom Evslin has up - nothing shockingly new but good stuff:

"One question under debate is: "is venture capital a good or bad thing?". This is a pretty silly question since the answer depends purely on the circumstance. If you don't need capital, then raising it through a VC or in any other way is a bad idea. You sell ("give away" from an entrepreneur's point of view) part of your company when you raise venture capital. "

Thanks Brad.
