Furqan Nazeeri - EIR Blogger

We are always diligently on the lookout for new VC-related blogs for you to add to your reading list.  Today we discovered Furqan Nazeeri, an entrepreneur-in-residence at Softbank Capital Partners

I came across Furqan while reading Found+Read's article titled A few more things no one tells you about VC...  Furqan had a post recently titled Topics Covered On This Blog (So Far) that helps us navigate.  It includes the following on raising capital:

Dating...er...Fundraising Etiquette
How to Get Introduced to VCs
Top 10 Tips For Entrepreneurs Pitching VCs
Venture Debt For Startups
How Not To Select A VC
What To Expect In Due Diligence

Also included is a bunch of stuff on startups.  Good stuff - worth adding to your reading list.  Furqan - nice blogging - keep it up!

I've known Furqan for quite a while and he is down-to-earth, very intelligent and sensible. I really appreciate how he helps entrepreneurs understand the VC business, as he has been a serial entrepreneur himself.

His blog is well worth adding to a reading list!

I was happy to discover Furquan's site for the post I wrote that was quoted in the article on FoundREAD.

He brought up a few points in his blog, in various posts, that I haven't seen many people talk about.

I emailed him directly as well, he was very quick to respond and approachable.
