'We often hear how startup founders forgo sufficient sleep – with the help of stimulants and caffeinated products – so they can rush out a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) as soon as they can. The truth is, lack of sufficient sleep affects your productivity. A sleep-deprived person have problems with concentration and memory, and if extreme can even cause occupational injuries (which are costly to both self and business ).

'There is a great opinion piece by Lawrence Lenihan on Business of Fashion today arguing that we are killing many fashion startups by over-capitalising them relative to their market opportunity. Right-sizing funding is a topic that is dear to my heart, but the interesting point here is why over-funding is becoming a problem. Over funding is becoming a problem because the current generation of fashion companies are more niche focused than their predecessors.

'It’s scary, exhilarating and euphoric. The opportunity to speak on a TED stage. It was a dream come true — and when the opportunity knocked, I was excited and freaked out at the same time.

'Here is a simple economic truth. Fixed overhead continues to eat into your cash month after month. It doesn’t differentiate facile, efficient businesses from slow, disorganized, quality-challenged ones. If it takes eighteen months to get a new product out the door and into the market, and if a product’s gross margin is ten dollars but the corporate overhead is a million a month, it will take the sale of 67,000 more units to break even than if it were to take only six months to market.
