Episode Notes

Nick Franklin and I talked about what it is like to go down the venture capital route instead of bootstrapping. 

For me this was a glimpse into another way of doing things.

Nick and I discussed:

• why he used outside investment to create ChartMogul
• ChartMogul's focus on creating good content
• finding a steady stream of interesting things to write about
• the difficulty of knowing how customers are acquired
• getting pricing right
