What advice would I give to new entrepreneurs who need funding? Forget about your business plan and buy a
lottery ticket — your chances are better. My point is that when you need venture funding no one will give any
money until you already have a marketable product. In other words, funding comes just when you do not need
it. A myth is that the way to start a venture is to create a great business plan, perfect your pitch, and then
108. The phrase “and few are worth the paper they are printed on” as exists in the above passage means
present this to investors, starting with venture capitalists. If that does not work, you knock on the door of angel
investors. But ask any entrepreneur who has called on venture capitalists and they will probably tell you that it is
almost impossible to even get calls returned. If venture capitalists do respond and you are invited to present A The ideas are good

should understand is that, even if you have a realistic business plan for a great idea that can change the world,
