How Much Funding Is Too Much?

During this week’s roundtable, we had as our guest Guillermo Gaspart, Founder and CEO of ByHours.com from Barcelona. He shared his wonderful journey of building a unique online travel company. We had an interesting discussion on the issue of how much funding is too much.

You can listen to the recording of this roundtable here:

Qlicket

For pitches, up first, we had Vivek Kumar, a 1Mby1M Premium member from Pittsburgh, PA, pitch Qlicket. The company focuses on high turnover employee engagement and has just closed its first $500k a year Fortune 500 account.  

Housing Joint Venture

Next, John Delia from Columbus, Ohio, also a 1Mby1M Premium member, pitched Housing Joint Venture, an online learning platform for real estate investment.

MOPstar

Then, Ajay Nagar from Dallas, Texas, pitched MOPstar, a datacenter compliance management venture. Ajay is a 1Mby1M Premium member as well.

Sharedpro

From Vadodara, India, Vikas Agrawal pitched Sharedpro, a marketplace for pairing startups with employees who want to split their time across two or three different companies. Startups that cannot afford an employee with a certain expertise full-time could use the platform to hire.
