Description
Roizen makes it clear that VCs will not give all the money up front. It is important for startups to set milestones, and develop a relationship with a VC, she says. At Mobius, VCs collect data on all portfolio companies on a weekly basis to best understand their companies. They do so to improve their companies' performance.
