first round of financing
Entrepreneurs tend naturally to shift their focus from being investor-focused to being business (the venture) focused after receiving their first round of financing. This particular mistake makes the next round as difficult as the first.

At the same time, it is not possible to censure the entrepreneur who bares the full responsibility of making the venture successful and increasing the return on investment (ROI). The ROI is the commitment to the investor and between receiving the funds to achieving the target ROI, there are countless challenges faced by the entrepreneur.
