I lived through the time when working in my first job in Ann Arbor Michigan we had to get out a map to find out that SanJose was not only in Puerto Rico but there was a city with that same name in California. The founders were simply wrong about their assumptions about customer needs. Founders Need to Run the Company Longer.
During this week's roundtable, we had Inoh Choe from SanJose, California, pitch DemoTunes, a freemium concept. How do you find co-founders who are willing to work for 18 months without getting paid? Irit, however, needs to think through some of the details of the businessmodel, pricing model, and positioning.

Since the iControl system chronicles all meetings, I was able to find the automatic picture snapped from my first meeting with the founders, Reza Raji and Chris Stevens on April 22, 2004. Now that iControl has raised over $100M, this got me thinking back to our original business plan.
I describe this in part as the “Social Network” effect… not just the movie itself but the example of Mark Zuckerberg and many other high profile young founders as role models ( who can forget this image? ) Just a minor nitpicky point: SanJose is actually much larger than SF, in both population and land area.
According to the Business Insider, he was actually arrested in a different place and time. Co-founder Dustin Moscovitz is referred to as a programmer, but he is actually an operations guy. Several weeks after Zuckerberg and the team move to Palo Alto for the summer, co-founder Eduardo Saverin finally pays a visit.
I take CFO roles in early stage companies and participate on the management team during the early financings and businessmodel development phases. I also teach Entrepreneurial Finance at SanJose State.
