One key reason why Standoutjobs got $1.5 million is because Austin Hill not only invested in it but is also involved. Without his backing or involvement I doubt that Garage ventures or any other VC would have given Fred and Ben $1.5million based on them alone. They are simply not experienced enough in terms of exectuive management...yet. This is actually great news for other entrepreneurs, since most tend to think they require 10 years of exectuive level management experience before a VC will look at them. This is obviously not the case. Good luck to Standoutjobs, it is very exciting for them, no doubt, and we all look forward to their success. Let’s make it clear.
