Finding the right financing structure to maximize that opportunity and to minimize the inherent risk is a dance that founders and investors engage in. Founders often talk about the importance of achieving product-market fit for the businesses we are creating. Another key fundamental is also ensuring there is founder-investor fit, and trust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">Bibliography <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Calacanis, J., <em>How To Invest in Technology Startups-Timeless Advice from an Angel Investor<\/em>, Harper Collins, 2017.<\/li><li>Feld, B., <em>The Illusion of Product\/Market Fit<\/em>, Feld Thoughts Blog feld.com, 2015.<\/li><li>Herold, C., <em>Vivid Vision<\/em>, Lioncrest, 2018.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Development of a Digital Stereo-Vision System for Robot 3D Tracking by: George O&#8217;Neill Three-dimensional point reconstruction using stereophotogrammetry and the Direct Linear Transformation (DLT) method&nbsp;are the&nbsp;areas&nbsp;of&nbsp;research undertaken for this thesis to determine the three-dimensional coordinates&nbsp;of unknown points.
