While many entrepreneurs cunningly sneak out without any notion of their plans and start out new ventures, a few hold on to their investors and try salvaging as much as they can of the incurred loss. Sneaking out might save a lot of your time that you would have taken to compensate for the loss but it leaves a negative mark on the investor.  “I’ve seen entrepreneurs try to be cute and take the assets to start another business on their own And then I’ve seen entrepreneurs who maintained full and frequent communication with their entire investor base throughout the process; busted their asses to exhaust every single potential option, no matter how far-fetched; doing everything within their power to salvage whatever they could for their investors. These are the entrepreneurs who, in virtually every case, I would have absolutely no hesitation to back again, just as my great investors were willing to take another chance on me,” writes David.
