How To Build A Unicorn From Scratch – And Walk Away With Nothing

During this week’s roundtable, we had as our guest Heidi Roizen, Operating Partner at DFJ Venture, who discussed her important article, “How to Build a Unicorn From Scratch – and Walk Away with Nothing,” and imparted crucial lessons to entrepreneurs on how to look at terms in a venture financing situation.

You can listen to the recording of this roundtable here:

Free-U
As for the pitches, first up, K. Raviteja from Hyderabad, India, pitched Free-U, a marketplace for financing. The concept is raw and needs a lot of work yet.

Let’s GoSociall
Next, Mayank Jain from Punjab, India, pitched Let’s Gosociall, a consolidated view of all social media newsfeeds with the ability to update various feeds at once. Mayank has to ask the essential question: how do I solve the chicken and the egg problem?
