It is too late for me to get a full post out, though I have several topics on the burner. That said, I would be interested in hearing from you (either in the comments section below or email: mccall@dfjportage.com) about a) topics that would be of interest to you and b) ideas/suggestions about how to make this blog more interactive or engaging. This blog will only be as useful and successful as it is relevant. Love to hear your voices...
Mission
- To encourage dialog between entrepreneurs and the proverbial dark side. For many entrepreneurs, the venture world is needlessly opaque and confusing. Venture principles, processes and norms are relatively straight forward, but not commonly understood. With a Windy City twist, this blog will try to shed light on the world "behind the curtain".

As a software entrepreneur, it would be interesting to read some articles that address some of the following questions/topics:
1. How should founding teams allocate equity amongst themselves? What is the VC viewpoint on how this should be done?
2. Many software startup founders now do the seed round themselves and get to a working prototype. How should the money invested be treated?
3. Any opinion on founders getting some (but low) liquidity at time of funding?
4. Is there such a thing as "deferred compensation" for the founders -- and a way to recoup some of tihs at time of funding?
Obviously, these are all from an entrepreneurs perspective (my primary area of interest).
Cheers,
Dharmesh
