To summarize: I was with a company who was *wildly* successful before ever taking a dime from VC's (or even talking to them!), and that was McAfee Associates. We basically set the terms, we were courted by the biggest names at the time, and split 5:1 (the good way!) on going public. Sure, not everybody can be a McAfee, but it's a good way to model your thinking. -- Morgan Greetings,
I’ve been flipping through your older blog posts (I have an unnatural addiction to ‘100% read’ in Google Reader), and ran into this one, and thought I’d provide my supporting take on it, from when I joined Jobster.
