Jason Mendelson, Managing Director for the Foundry Group, will be speaking at a public event in Boulder, Colorado on February 24th. This is a great chance to hear about how VC funding works from somebody who's investing in new companies and who is very open and honest about how it really works. If you have any interest in raising money for your startup, you should also be reading Jason and Brad Feld's blog, Ask the VC. Here's a link to the event.
