The Internet also revolves around the two disparate groups, just like the business world. These two groups are “haves” and “have nots”.

The group “haves” has everything such as power, money, influence, right friends, etc. For these people, places like the Silicon Valley become a world full of opportunities. However, the circle that these people build is extremely difficult to crack for first timers who are struggling to make it big in their respective field of work.

Advices from these investors

For first timers, Kapor recommends designing a working product before one proceeds towards pitching. On the other hand, Feld is one man who does not care about pedigree. He completely overlooks the fact that pedigree is indeed a factor that helps in funding consideration. Feld tells people to read and understand why these investors invest on something and the thought process behind it.

To this, Craig also adds his view point and recommends start-ups to borrow and beg and do everything possible to learn from experience and forgo outside funding. Vaynerchuk also suggests that people should believe in funding the process of incubation themselves. Serbinski also provides his thoughts on funding.
