#oatv

    After coming back from spring break we took some class time to reflect on our Kickstarters and speak to the class about where we have been, where we are and where we are going. The following week we had a little change of pace, instead of having a designer as a guest speaker we were allowed to see what happens behind the curtains. We had Bryce Roberts of OATV and Indie.vc Skype in an talk to us about venture capitalism.

    For those of you who might not know what that is, it is financially investing in newly emerging companies. Allowing companies and ideas to hit the floors with the wheels rolling!

    Bryce spoke to us about some of his requirements to personally invest in a company. What is important to him is how successful the company has been before his arrival; How well they can plan ahead, he wants to know exactly what his money is going towards; But the most important thing for Bryce is how passionate the people are, can they convince him to be behind their idea as much as they are.

    From him I took what I believe to be an incredible portion of advice. He believes that not everything is meant to be a company. And this hit home, sometimes what brings a business down is the amount of inventory they have. Why can’t an object just be treated for the purpose of selling. Does everything have to keep growing larger into a company?
