There’s nothing more exciting than launching a new business, getting a website up and running, and waiting for the customers to roll in. But unless your site contains all the necessary features, you’ll struggle to make sales. Some startups are so keen to get their businesses off the ground that their websites end up suffering. They omit vital information and features in a rush to get their products and services out of the door.

Following the inevitable ups and downs of the VC investment cycle, and what founders can do when it all turns cold. The “venture recession” of 2016 is in full swing. Combined with the usual summer slowdown, some are already raising the spectre of 2001 or 2008. Recession or not, what is universal is the bewilderment of many entrepreneurs on how negative VCs have become over the past nine months after almost five years of non-stop cheerleading.

Does your business have a visible positive strategy, or do your customers and employees still see your primary focus as closing more sales and killing competitors? Certainly that has been the strategy of many companies, and has worked in the past, but today’s customers and workers are looking for more. They want relationships, positive experiences, and a win-win for society.

Periodically, at the end of a conversation, someone will ask me, “Is there something I can do for you?” I used to answer with “Do something that is helpful to something or someone in my world.” I usually get a pause and occasionally get a response similar to “I’m not really sure what to do to help you.” Over time, I modified my response to “Do whatever you think is useful to grow your startup community.” I thought this was a good answer until

Entrepreneurs wear a lot of hats, from managerial, leadership hats to innovative, “thinking-outside-the-box” type hats. Needless to say, the average entrepreneur is expected to be well-versed in a variety of disciplines in order for their ideas and business concepts to succeed in today’s competitive markets. While most entrepreneurs seem to take on their business and creativity roles a little more frequently, business building experts advise young entrepreneurs spend more time understanding the

Every company has to strike a balance between focusing on being great at what they do and telling the world about it. Some very successful companies lead with hype and have their people permanently scrabbling to keep up. You might call that the Elon Musk school of entrepreneurship. Other successful companies focus on delivering value rather than making promises – Google and Facebook spring to mind as examples here.

But as I wrote in that post, innovation can be a scary and often misunderstood word and concept. And unfortunately many entrepreneurs and executives who otherwise could be excellent innovators and change agents simply are NOT, and thereby their companies suffer.

Nearly all seed rounds we are a part of include angel investors. In some cases, there are also smaller checks from funds as well that are playing a support role as opposed to a lead role. In almost all of these cases, these smaller investors were included into a syndicate because they “added value” either through domain or functional expertise or through their network.
