Comments on: Guy Kawasaki on pitching to a VC http://jasonalba.com/2007/04/07/guy-kawasaki-on-pitching-to-a-vc/ Just another JASONAlba weblog Thu, 20 Nov 2008 18:30:59 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.2 By: Mike Sparr http://jasonalba.com/2007/04/07/guy-kawasaki-on-pitching-to-a-vc/#comment-18 Mike Sparr Fri, 13 Apr 2007 10:29:41 +0000 http://jasonalba.com/2007/04/07/guy-kawasaki-on-pitching-to-a-vc/#comment-18 Jason, I was actually working on the same thing (email to VC) and your "email" copy is a great example on how you can phrase technical info in a very understandable manner. Your system sounds great and your sentence about how it works like CRM painted the picture perfectly. My business is not in HR/jobs but your post will certainly help me/others in taking a simple approach to explain sometimes complex topics. Thanks for posting this! And good luck, if you need it. :-) Great Work! Mike P.S. - I realized the challenges you mention and instead provided a free service for Montanan's called MontanaWorker.com (on the side). After realizing it would cost my company $472 for a 4-day job ad in the local paper, or $420 to advertise this site on the radio for 2 weeks, and get candidates and posters alike using it, eventually our online recruiting will be relatively free and we're helping others. Perhaps I'll link to your site JibberJobber to let them know of tools available. Jason,
