“Brian is one of the most resourceful, bright, and dedicated people I’ve worked with. Brian is the lead team member responsible for 2 of our marketing campaigns. He leads the Google AdWords efforts and has trained everyone who is involved. He is also responsible for developing and managing our Social Media campaigns. He is a savvy PPC/SEO teacher and Social Media expert. In the dynamic environment of a start-up he has shown flexibility, in keeping up with changing dynamics, all while with great professionalism and with an altruistic style. He brings a positive attitude to each task, asks questions, is a self-starter, and has a great sense of humor. I am certain that Brian is laying down the foundation to be a successful CMO someday soon.”

How do you evaluate the fit and alignment of the investor and the entrepreneur beyond the term sheet?
While this is true, always be sure to discover and build rapport with the decision maker for investing first. I find founders often get very close with analysts and think they have a solid yes coming, only to find that the managing director or other partner found something distasteful about their project and passed during the investment committee meeting.

How do you evaluate the fit and alignment of the investor and the entrepreneur beyond the term sheet?
If you’re going about fundraising correctly, references are not needed and asking for them may even scare off a potential investor because it shows you’re inexperienced causing them more work. I find most founders cold email or they get introductions from weak acquaintances which is pretty much a waste of everyone’s time. No trust is established and investors don’t send money to people they lack established trust with. As a founder, you need to spend all your time getting the best intro possible. Avoid every cold email and weak introduction. This approach gives you the best possible outcome once you find an investor that says yes. Once you close one investor this way, ask them for intros to others they trust and often co-invest with.
