My friend and a partner at Wildcat Venture Partners, Bruce Cleveland, along with his associates, has come up with an idea that helps explain why some early-stage companies thrive and thus raise more capital, while others die on the vine. As a venture capitalist, he’s always trying to figure this out, trying to determine who gets another round of funding and who doesn’t. If you are a high-net-worth individual parking money in a VC firm, that should be comforting. Cleveland’s idea comes from Eric Ries, founder of the blog Startup Lessons Learned.
