Research shows over 2 out of 3 users who add items to their online shopping cart leave without making a purchase. The numbers are even worse on mobile where conversion rates are 70% lower than desktop. So why are consumers leaving right at the point of sale and what can companies do about it?

As we’ve watched from behind our television screens, we have been inspired, motivated, entertained, and driven to want more for ourselves. We have witnessed these born entrepreneurs apply their skills to a myriad of situations, and many of us have wondered whether we have the capability to do the same.

You will also get the satisfaction of turning your passion into your profession- something very few people tend to accomplish.

As a VC and five-time entrepreneur, I frequently see two common mistakes being made by startups: Companies spend too much attempting to grow the business when it’s not ready for such growth; or Companies don’t spend enough money when the business.

I’m at the Web Summit in Dublin this week and attended two interesting talks today. One was an interview with Palmer Luckey , founder of Oculus VR and the other a panel with Rana el Kaliouby , founder of Affectiva and Ebbe Altberg , CEO of Linden Labs (creator of Second Life). All three of these people have an incredibly high level of conviction that the technologies they are working on will become become ubiquitous.

Last month, I attended the SaaS Founder Meetup organized by Point Nine Capital in Berlin. In its fourth year, the event is a great opportunity for SaaS ‘aficionados’ to compare notes, share war stories and learn from each other. For those in SaaS, this event is a must attend in Europe, and as Algolia’s founder Nicolas told me during our board meeting the week before, I better “ get my game up because the level of the presentations at the Meetup is high, and I’d better be well prepared!

How to Take Control of Your Business Even Though It Doesn’t Want You To written by John Jantsch read more at Duct Tape Marketing. Success is a relative term isn’t it, but if you ever come to recognize it you know what it feels like.

Guess what is often the worst slide in an investor deck? For me, it’s the competition slide. At best, it’s a list of competitors plotted in some 2×2 or Harvey-ball chart that isn’t terribly helpful. At worst, it’s hurtful. You’d be surprised how often a competitor slide has tons of players, but not the one that I end up thinking the most about after a bit of research.

Most product copy is awful. Or worse, non-existent. Product copy seems like such a minor thing in the grand scheme of conversion optimization, so many brands brush it off. But for companies doing it right, excellent product copy is a great way to sprinkle brand personality in a place that most people don’t expect it. In fact, some companies do product copy so well that it’s almost a feature of the product itself.
