Why Start-up Lawyers Frustrate Me? (jasonmendelson.com)

Is there any place where lawyers (or investment bankers) are rated? It seems like this would be a nice addition to TheFunded.com.


It's an area where personal contacts can really help. I have a carefully husbanded (and very short) list of people who will work for equity + insurance cover.

If the list was longer I would be willing to share, but sadly there are very few people like that and they are already very busy :/ But drinking in lawyer/banker hangouts might net you a few good people - especially ones who want to get out of a mega firm and have enough secondary skills to make them valuable to a start up.



Yeah, that's a good idea.
