The "Lead Investor"
One of the most misunderstood concepts in the venture/startup world is the concept of the “lead investor”. I got an email from a friend yesterday who I won’t name because I am not sure he wants his financing efforts blogged about openly.

People say 'there's a problem';
then i figured it out, there’s actually a problem. Well, you all know, I spend a lot of time at my neighborhood Coffeebar.

I meet a lot of people here, investment bankers to venture...
Rap Lyrics Translated →
It’s really silly when this song is translated from “ebonics” to standard English. Is there good rap music out there? It seems like every rap song is just a cookie cutter copy from every other rap song; drugs, materialism, sex, women, parties, rapping and cars. Via Ghostvirus.

Well, like you all know, my family got this habit of disowning me, for silly reasons like your credit card bills showing you been to this bar, that bar, this pub and freaking thousands at coffee bars and all.
