Hello, is there a free tool / Github repo with scripts that would convert email signatures (from Gmail) into contacts?

So our company is raising capital and some of the strong points are our B2B contracts. All these contracts are under NDA, but as business achievements they belong in the pitch. I cannot expect VCs to neither honor verbal confidentiality agreements nor sign NDAs.

What is the industry standard about talking about NDA-ed contracts when pitching to VCs then?

"We have a contract with company we cannot name in a space cannot quite describe that is about something we cannot talk about"?

Hi, I understand the pitch deck - 10 slides etc. I feel however that when I pitch it makes an impression of a one-man stand-up show (not comedy hopefully ha). That's obviously because presentation is rehearsed over and over 1000 times. All the examples are about people pitching on-stage. That's one thing. I wonder if there is a good example of people pitching casually in a more office room type scenario where one does not go into me VS world mode.

Hi! I am interested in what are the warranty policies (in general) between OEM / VAR partners in electronics.

Example - Intel/AMD & HP. If the HP finds out that one of their products fails b/c of an Intel/AMD processor failure what happens between the companies?

a) In case of systemic failure (above N% - and what can be N here?)? b) In case of non-systemic failure?

Would that be much different if it's some OEM smartphone + VAR brand? I am implying that OEM smartphone is a more complete package than just MCU (as above).

Hello, I understand that it might seem like a "case-by-case" type of question but I hope someone can offer a generalized advice as well.

The situation: startup has an offer from early stage investor but the offer has lower valuation than startup is willing to accept. If startup takes this investment at proposed valuation and then raises the rest of the money necessary for the seed stage, it spend well over 25% equity recommended to set for seed stage [by Paul Graham].

It seems that such negotiation may easily end up in a pointless Valuation-A VS Valuation-B discussion. Which incentives can startup offer to seed investor in such circumstances?

Basically: Lets set the cap at $Y so that..

I have a couple investors who said they want to invest and will send term-sheet. Now it drags for a couple months and really got to the point that their procrastination is hurting the company. Is it ok to tell them we need money NOW because burn-rate etc.? How else can I enforce a deadline for investment?
