One of the earliest things we did at NextView when my partners and I started working together was go away as a team to the New Hampshire mountains. It’s commonly said that the biggest risk facing a new VC firm is disharmony among the partners. At the time, I think we didn’t even had a name for the fund.

The job was building relationships with partners and advertisers and to sell advertising. Instead, I decided to package what I know about internet marketing and build an online course for small businesses in Estonia (that’s where I’m from). Partnering for products. I partnered with an expert, a former pro athlete.

For the first time, it partnered with AngelList to help create an open application process. Not bad considering that founding partner Dave McClure has been adamant about supporting non-US startups and recently acquired the Mexican.VC accelerator and brought on two venture partners to help oversee its India investments.

They require help to clarify their business proposition, evaluate their value, and identify key partners. As Ben Rooney of the Wall Street Journal reminded us in a recent article , Skype originated with some engineers in Estonia. The missing link is finding the right channel and investment partner.

I saw what impact Skype had on Estonia and there are a lot of examples like that, how a role-model or a success story if presented right, creates a healthy competition and copy-inspired-cats around. And here I hear about writing them a message on LinkedIn and some of them will respond.

When I was speaking at Elite Camp in Estonia this summer, I broke out the PPC thermometer to show which PPC channels give you visitors who are closer to buying. But on Facebook, behavior targeting is based around 3rd party data from partners like Epsilon, Acxiom, and Datalogix.

Trust me, once you’ve launched and achieved traction, you’ll have your pick of mentors, VCs, partners and all the legal expenses you need. Partner up? No legal muck.
