Over the weekend my former colleague Cedric Latessa emailed me a link to a blog post by Rand Fishkin, CEO and founder of SEOmoz, where he talks about his decision whether or not to raise VC (warning: I two of my laptops have thrown up malware warnings before letting me through to Rand’s blog). I like the way he thinks about the decision, weighing up the pros of faster revenue growth and a bigger exit against the cons of more dilution, the impact of the preference, the risks that come with bringing a new director onto your board, and the way that raising a venture round rules out some lower value exits (at least in the short term). His emerging conclusion is that it would be a mistake to raise another VC round.
