Your Exclusive "Silicon Valley" Dictionary Dear Startup Investor, Neil here. Communicating with Silicon Valley, the epicenter of American startups, can be a bit like visiting a foreign country. No matter where you go, the big picture stuff is the same; you'll find grocery stores, pharmacies, schools, and museums in every country in the world. The only thing standing between you and what you need? The language barrier. Silicon Valley feels like its own little planet sometimes. The "fresh new thing" almost always happens here first, and everything that came before becomes passé. We're so obsessed with change (we call it disruption... for now, at least) that even our terminology changes, seemingly on a day-to-day basis. We don't make money here; we make exits. We don't hire marketing specialists... we hire growth hackers. And unicorns aren't rare anymore - now, we look for decacorns. For better or worse, startup-speak is never going to stop evolving. New words are being added to our lexicon every single day. And when you meet your first founder, you're going to need to know the language - or else risk looking like a clueless newbie. Things move fast around here. Most folks who move to Silicon Valley agree that one of their biggest roadblocks in the beginning was learning the lingo. I'm here to make sure you're ready to stop scratching your head and dive right into the action. That's why I've put together an "Angel Investing Dictionary," where you will find definitions in plain English for all the SoCal jargon you'll need to know, and then some. Just click here to take a look. You'll be ready to go pro rata on a bootstrapped SaaS-decacorn's Series B raise in no time.
