great summary of the process, very helpful / educational. also interesting to hear about AngelList / SecondMarket opportunity.

Enjoyed your comment on PRNews Wire, agreed. You're not missing out.

In our experience, releasing press on the traditional "wire" is pretty useless (and expensive!). Unless you want coverage on those strange tech blogs that auto-post all wire stories haha.

As a founder embarking on a seed round, found this article incredibly helpful. Imagine Transcriptic's raise will be a sort of landmark event as the JOBS Act figures out what it's going to mean for startup investment going forward. Thanks Max.

I liked your writing style -- anecdotal with the moral at the end of each section.
