I work with an early-stage VC fund in the UK; one of our portfolio media companies was producing a series of films for a senior VP at American Express. The entrepreneurs wanted to use FTP-software to showcase the work. We pointed out that it "ain't the friendliest bit of software". Over the weekend, the team identified and installed a PHP-based viewing system. They even blagged the URL http://www.watchyouredit.com . The result; a happy investor seeing a quick and effective response and, more importantly, a very happy customer

I couldn't agree more. It's often those little impressions which make a big difference, not the elaborate presentation in the boardroom. I work for an angel investment network in Milwaukee and was given the daunting task of finding a top tier speaker for an upcoming event. I was amazed at the generous responses and kind offers we received from entrepreneurs such as Dick Costolo, Craig Newmark, and yourself. Having met a wide range of entrepreneurs over the last several years it is easy to identify those who become successful based on hard work and knowledge of their audience.
