My $.025
- Start with Why – Simon Sinek
- Innovation and Entrepreneurship – Peter Drucker
- Zero to One – Peter Thiel and Blake Masters
- Venture Deals – Brad Feld and Jason Mendelson
- Mindset – Carol Dweck
- Traction – Gino Wickman
- Rocket Fuel – Wickman with Mark C. Winters
And I put together some thoughts for perspective, on my LinkedIn newsletter, Startup Studio

Welcome to the community Joe.
Need for an intro is a myth. I write a lot about connecting with VCs over on my personal site, here’s one place to start that might help: https://seobrien.com/secret-to-funding-customers-needed-before-contacting-vcs
And a more recent methodology we teach in our incubators, the flywheel: https://mediatech.ventures/raising-capital-the-process-is-a-flywheel/
Write your answer.
I had your first three. But having difficulty getting the introduction the VC say I must h ave to get in front of them or for them.
