A map of VC funding overall approach and process

There's been a lot of blog posts by VCs and entrepreneurs on how to approach VC funding, what the process looks like, explanation of termsheet items, etc. There are obviously different different views and opinions as well as various advices out there. Instead of writing yet other posts on these topics, I've done a map of blog posts on the topic and included the various perspectives out there.

I've started by a map on the overall approach and process of VC funding and organized it around 4 themes:

• An overview of the overall process
• The first question an entrepreneur should ask himself: how much money to raise and to achieve what ?
• Best practices on pitch documents (executive summary and first presentation)
• Some practical tips (e.g., on the first meeting, VC objections and the overall process)

Here is the map on "VC funding overall approach and process" (just click on the play button and the arrows to go back/forward). I'll build another map on termsheet and due dilligence in the coming days.

PS: If you have other posts to add to this map, don't hesitate to reach out.
