Here’s one underrated glass ceiling I am sure many of you hit at least once. You come up with a great idea. You build a great offering with all the right ingredients – valuable, viral, economic, technically cunning, innovative, inspiring. You assemble the right core team and put together a proof of concept prototype. Proud yet in dire need for funds, you begin your VC tour which seems to be going phenomenally well. Or so it seems. The associates’ eyes are glowing but the partners’ smiles are a bit nervous (or so you think but quickly suppress). You then receive a bunch of follow-up homework assignments with a clear target of buying time. When it comes to getting the right partners on board – you wait forever, or until you run out of money or drive, whichever comes first. What is it that makes that glass ceiling? The “associates love it but the partners kill it”, impossible to break ceiling? (more…)
