David Cohen deserves much credit for building TechStars into an internationally recognized brand name for innovation.

For example, you can barter for a service or you can negotiate payment terms or even equity for service. When outsourcing, remember that lawyers are like VCs…it matters less who’s name is on the front door than who you work with. To that I say baloney. Even without cash you have many ways to outsource.

If I was to pick a watershed moment in the emergence of ‘entrepreneurship as a science’ it would be the publication of Steve Blank’s Four Steps to the Epiphany in 2005. It’s not the easiest read, but for the first time founders had a playbook they could follow. Some magic, art and wit is always required.

And half our clubs were in the state of California in 2008, so was a very interesting time to be a CEO and learned a lot. And look, it was a scary time.

November 2005 Venture funding works like gears. A big-name VC firm will not screwyou too outrageously, because other founders would avoid them ifword got out. When we got into such a scrape, our investorstook advantage of it in a way that a name-brand VC probably wouldnthave. Thats where the name"incubator" comes from.

Corporate (big) names. Corporate Brand Name. Because of the brand name and the strong reputation athletic shoes, people also tend to trust golf balls and golf cubs from Nike. A similar variation of the brand equity effect is when a product does really well, it makes the rest of a company’s catalog look attractive as well.

And it does not matter if they use a large brand name Agency.
