Helping Entrepreneurs Succeed: Fred Destin

by Scott Edward Walker on March 2nd, 2011

To Our Clients & Friends: Welcome to our weekly series entitled “Helping Entrepreneurs Succeed.”  Each week, we post a short video clip of a successful entrepreneur, investor or business leader on a variety of topics to help entrepreneurs succeed.

This week, we present Fred Destin, a partner at Atlas Venture and a smart investor (and a good guy).  In this interesting presentation in Berlin last year, Fred discusses how to pitch your startup to investors, including (i) honing your story, (ii) how to get past “no”, (iii) the importance of a business model and (iv) traction.  I hope you enjoy it.  Many thanks, Scott
