I hear lots of excuses from startup founders, like “I’m too busy,” concern over IP security, can’t afford an agency, and it’s too early. I’m definitely not lobbying here for promising things you can’t deliver, or hiring a publicist before your first programmer. One networking introduction will likely not leave a lasting impression.

We have also recently handled a few “acquihires” (or “acqui-hires”) — which is a somewhat unique transaction, with a host of unusual issues. The deal is typically structured as an asset purchase (as opposed to a stock purchase or merger) — though the acquirer often does not actually want the startup’s IP and/or other assets.

So if entrepreneurs want to pioneer new ideas with a lean model, my advice is to use low cost alternatives to build differentiality that can be protected from institutions with far more money than ethics, creativity, or innovation-- other than skirting the loopholes in our justice system regarding protection of IP, and honing predatory tactics.

So it could be a sweeping turn, like a new product launch or, you know, refocusing your company, or it could be a minor turn like, uh, or a less sweeping turn like who you hire or who you fire or how you price your products.

IP masking FTW! Let anyone who has never hired a Taskrabbit to buy a cronut or a Shakespeare in the Park ticket cast the first stone. Restaurants deserve a better, more economical, way to distribute tables, and customers deserve more transparency and fairness. Did I miss the ethical posturing at the time? Screw the law!

What would have happened if, before Netflix had become established, one of the major rental store chains or perhaps a coalition of big movie studios had realised the potential of those new distribution models and the danger to the existing happy cash generators, and consequently thrown $100,000,000 into getting their own service off the ground?

We hired three guys from that batch and paid them in iPhones. Treat everyone you hire like a co-founder. It builds trust and earns buy-in from the people you hire. When you’re hiring folks, don’t promise equity upfront. Yammer is an awesome tool for fostering camaraderie on distributed teams.

The truth is the mixed economy model is what has provided the greatest distribution of wealth the world has ever seen. But the items aren’t real (brands and IP) and don’t exist in the real world – they live in the ether to purely move money around. Free Market Capitalism. You wanna dance, you gotta pay the band.
