5 Must-Read VC Blogs

Whether you’re a first time entrepreneur or seasoned-pro if you want to succeed in business you’ll never stop learning.

As start-up founders we’re fortunate enough today to have a great start-up community where knowledge is not only freely shared, but is accessible to everyone. Knowledge and how to succeed doesn’t need to come with a price-tag attached.

Some of the best sources of wisdom and knowledge for entrepreneurs are blogs written by venture capitalists. These VCs, often former start-up founders themselves, not only give insights on how they view the world, industry trends and what they look for in investments, but more often than not it’s the posts on the mistakes that can be avoided that are the most valuable.

Here we share just 5 of our must-read VC blogs that you should be reading on a regular basis:
