It’s the first Friday of the month, so that means it’s time for Funding Fridays.

August has wrapped up, that means venture capitalists will soon be back from San Tropez or the Amalfi Coast and ready to get back to work. Getting deals done in August is almost impossible. It’s incredibly frustrating for founders. Founders should understand that there are there are black out dates in venture capital which are roughly November 15 — January 7th and July 15 — September 7th. The reason is that many venture capital deals require a full partner meeting to approve an investment and it’s just logistically challenging for all of the partners’ schedules to align. If even one partner is on vacation, the deal can’t be approved. Learn more in this article by VC Mark Suster. Both Sides of the Table (4 minutes)
