Gravity – The Best Movie in “A While”

Feld Thoughts

'I saw Gravity on Friday night. I can’t remember being more immersed in a movie since I saw Star Wars 36 years ago. It could have been because I was wiped out from the week.

Don’t Give Your Employees Lofty Titles

Mike Michalowicz

'Entrepreneurs have the propensity to give employees big, lofty titles. That new kid handling the social media is given the title “Chief Marketing Officer.” The technician who is an old-timer because she has been around since the inception of the company four years ago, gets the title “Chief Technology Officer.” Entrepreneurs love to throw around lofty titles lie Vice Presidents, Directors, and Alpha Dogs (seriously, I have seen that one used more than once).

Deal Selection in Venture Capital

Rob Go

'Source, Select, Win. Those are the three activities that all VC’s do. Ask 10 VC’s which of the three is most important, and I think at least 9/10 would say “Source” If you don’t see the best opportunities, there is no way selection and winning (both winning the deal and helping the company win) will produce the best returns.
