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.
