In Part 2 of this series on Replay Solutions, Jonathan Lindo first covers his tips for funding a startup, which involve starting with angel investors, networking extensively, and ultimately closing a round of venture capital funding.  He mentions that in today’s economic climate, it’s crucial to be able to demonstrate an exceptionally unique technology, a large user base, or corporate profitability before approaching VCs for funding, in order to create a more compelling case for your startup. Replay just recently succeeded in securing an additional $2M in VC funding, an impressive feat in this economy.

Jonathan also shares his personal background as an engineer and entrepreneur, and provides advice on what it takes to succeed in the startup world, which includes perseverance, stubbornness, and the development of a network of mentors to support you along the way.
