GREAT IDEAS CAN CHANGE THE WORLD @ajaz_ahmed
GREAT IDEAS CAN CHANGE THE WORLD
@ajaz_ahmed
It takes just ONE idea
Just imagine
You’ve had that great idea
An idea that will change the world
An idea that will touch the lives
of lots of people
What would you do with your idea?
You could tell someone about your idea
Venture Capitalists help people
They invest in great ideas
They invest in great people
They’re desperate to talk to people with great ideas
Their model is to discover great ideas &
great people
The only problem is!
Most VC's don’t have any "Venture"
They don't like to listen
They don't like to talk
They love bits of paper
They love fiction
P&L's, sales forecasts, EBITDA
They worship Excel
They love safe bets
It’s difficult to get in-touch with them
They’re in love with themselves
VC’s - Don’t you get it?
I don’t care where you got your MBA from
I don’t care how much you sold
your company for
I don’t care where you used to work
I just need you to listen
Nobody’s listening
So I'll carry on dreaming
I don’t like VC’s
This presentation is based on personal
observations when dealing with VC’s
Lets #cutthecrap
