Thanks for posting this. I'm glad to see you talk about the nuts and bolts of fund raising in such an open way. This is great. I'm impressed by your management skills as well, which is no doubt an indicator of your success.
You mention getting intros from your network. A first-timer is probably less likely to have people in their network who could introduce them to a VC, although they may have a large network. Accelerators like Y Combinator seem to solve this problem, but what about those outside of the accelerators?
