If you ask for money, you'll get advice.
If you ask for advice, you'll get money.
This fundraising mantra is embraced widely among not-for-profit fundraisers. But this is not always the best approach for new businesses looking for investors. Elizabeth Yin writes about this on her web blog to tech start ups.
