Advice to those looking for venture capital

This from Tom useby, managing partner at SeaPoint Ventures at the Mobile Northwest conference in Seattle on Monday.

Location-based applications are also looking interesting, although he had a word of caution to developers. No pitch that starts with “say you’re walking by a Starbucks,” is going to work, he joked. “Just eliminate that line,” he said. The example, usually in which someone walks by a Starbucks and automatically receives a coupon for discounted coffee to their phone, has been used for many years by companies as they try to jump start the location-based services market.

Words to live by!
