Among the companies I poked fun at yesterday was Fleck. Turns out they have a blog. Also turns out that their latest post was a really good one – an entrepreneur’s perspective on how to give a good venture pitch. I wrote a post about a year ago on the same subject. This is a great companion to that post - from the perspective of someone on the other side of the table.
By the way, be sure to take a look at the description of the business on their splash page – very amusing!
Thank you for the compliment. I was kind of nervous about posting this because I am on the other end of the table and am only guessing what VCs want. So it's good to hear that there is some truth in what I think is important...

Seth - Thanks for the links. This is always a great topic to blog about because everyone has their own sense of what is "best" for the elevator pitch. I have added a few blurbs on my blog. Keep blogging...
