Also, heresy #2 and my promised "how not to raise money" post are still TK. Dayjob and eye surgery have conspired to slow down my writing a bit.

I'd love to hear more about the mistakes & lessons you learned about raising capital. What made you 'overmatched?' If you could turn back the clock, what would you have done differently on the finance side? Mike, solid post. I’d love to hear more about the mistakes & lessons you learned about raising capital.
