EP #522: What it takes to get funding today - with Foundation Capital partner Anamitra Banerji

One of the challenges of being an entrepreneur and founder is finding the capital to spark growth. There are obviously many ways to do it - from bootstrapping to taking on debt to finding an equity investor - but for most of us with big ideas it is the equity investment we tend to gravitate towards. Growth happens for a reason but to achieve the kind of growth we all want venture capitalists are often-times essential fuel. It is no different for those of you out there building mobile services and applications.   That is why this episode (and more to come) is about the venture industry - more specifically on what it takes to get the attention of top VCs with your business. Our guest is Anamitra Banerji of Foundation Capital and the goal is to understand what he invests in and why. Anamitra has been on both sides of the fence. He is a founder and has worked for household name companies like Yahoo! and Twitter - putting product out the door that reach hundreds of millions of people.   He shares his criteria for investment and what industries are emerging that he is keeping his eye on.   Full show notes can be found here: http://untether.tv/2014/ep-522-what-it-takes-to-get-funding-today-with-foundation-capital-partner-anamitra-banerji/
