Amy Keller , PurePlus Co-Founder and CEO calls this a revolution in the whole plant foods-based economy.

There is an inherent conflict in a consultant’s business model and the needs of a startup. If a consultant claims they can enhance your marketing efforts, pay them based on their direct impact on your incremental sales. Their story, market positioning, products, etc. Startups cannot afford such scapegoat luxuries.

Many founders have to turn to brute force to figure it out, even when they themselves don’t have practitioner product management experience.

When 37signals talked about giving something away for free as a marketing strategy , it made a lot of sense to me: “For us, Writeboard and Ta-da list are completely free apps that we use to get people on the path to using our other products. I asked CrazyEgg co-founder Hiten Shah why they decided to drop their free plan back then.

I describe this in part as the “Social Network” effect… not just the movie itself but the example of Mark Zuckerberg and many other high profile young founders as role models ( who can forget this image? ) Yes, most venues will actually do a substantial amount of event marketing for the company participants.

I mentioned this article in a conversation I had with the co-founder of a new startup. There was no WiFi, and CRTs still dominated the display market. Actually, I’d be willing to argue that right now cheap and good computer support has a great market potential if it’s done right; but that’s a whole other story.)

I’ve seen the Valley grow from Sunnyvale to Santa Clara to today where it stretches from San Jose to South of Market in San Francisco. The founders were simply wrong about their assumptions about customer needs. It turns out the term “visionary founder” was usually a synonym for someone who was hallucinating.

Until recently, most Internet innovation has centered around improvements — big improvements, but incremental ones nonetheless — to existing business models and familiar social structures: Amazon is the ultimate retail destination, Zipcar the ubiquitous rental-car agency; Meetup is a sewing circle on steroids.
