The first two cycles of death encountered by most entrepreneurs are (a) where do you get the first ~$5-10K to launch your company? (b) where do you get the first $100-200K to validate your idea? A lot of startups never make it past this point to even get in front of potential investors. This talk will focus on ways to break these money->validation->more money cycles of death.
