When Raising Money...
When raising money for your startup, there will be times when the person you pitch for an investment will end up giving you advice. Sometimes great advice. And there are times when the person you go to for advice will end up becoming an investor in your company. I’ve experienced both.
Knowing this, when raising money for your startup, you may want to identity specific potential investors and go to them first for their advice and their coaching on the best way to pitch your startup to other investors. And if they end up investing along the way, so be it.

Sudha Jamthe said something similar at BarCamp Boston in 2006 - if you ask for money, you get advice. If you ask for advice, you get advice - and money.
