You probably heard about Mint, the personal finance site that launched two years ago and was acquired for $170 million last month by Intuit.
The following video of Mint’s CEO Aaron Patzer’s presentation on building startups from the ground up, gives a lot of answers to questions presented to entrepreneurs launching a startup in Silicon Valley. I had to learn this stuff on the job– Aaron’s highly recommendable disclosures and advice includes:
- Cofounders and employees
- Incorporation
- Financial modeling
- Funding Rounds
- Goals and milestones for each round
- Handling investors
The presentation’s deck is available here .
