Similarly, conversion optimization moves quickly. Sure, there are some core skills that seem foundational and everlasting, but year to year there are also some new skills that crop up.

We’ve all heard over and over again that “Startups are hard,” but it’s a hollow statement that just bounces off until you really experience it yourself. You have to feel it viscerally in order for it to really sink in. That very experience however, makes startup success that much more gratifying. The story of Bugsee is a very unique one in my experience as an investor and one that I figured needs to be highlighted and shared.

Work life balance is a concept which has demanded attention for many years as people are continuously attempting to segregate time for innumerable demands of life and work. The business organizations have become dynamic and the work environment is becoming complex due to global competition. This kind of environment lays tremendous pressure on the employees as they have to attend the responsibilities in their work life as well as outside their work life.

Back in 2014, I blogged about building a user engagement pyramid for social platforms, inspired by Fred Wilson’s 100/10/1 rule. The premise of that post was simple: since user-generated content is king, the top of the pyramid (aka the most engaged users) are those who post status updates, photos and links. And, these creators are inspired when they are recognized for their contributions via shares, comments, and favourites.

by Nate Vickery, editor-in-chief of Bizzmarkblog.com. e-Commerce has been the fastest growing business niche in the last couple of years. The popularity of this concept is mainly driven by its simplicity and convenience. An online store doesn’t require you to rent a property or hire sales staff. eCommerce businesses often sell products from third-party manufacturers and sometimes they even use other eCommerce distributors as product suppliers.

When a long-term employee suddenly starts acting strangely, the first thing you should do is try to find out what’s going on. Even if your employee’s performance is suffering, your first reaction shouldn’t be to immediately fire him or her. Instead, try to be supportive and understanding. Everyone goes through stressful situations at times in life, and if you value your employees, you can help them get through it.

And don’t believe for a second that because you are a small business, you aren’t of interest. Despite all the headlines, the vast majority of operations suffering hacks are small to medium-sized, simply because they are easy targets. And when it finally occurs, hacking can have devastating consequences on your business.

I’m in Melbourne, finishing my coffee, getting ready for one last meeting here before I fly with David Cohen to Adelaide for the day. When I left, I had the voices and energy of 25 people in my head. Last Thursday evening was the beginning of the second Reboot VC Bootcamp at my house just outside Boulder.

The book, Running Man, is the autobiography of Charlie Engle. It’s also one of the best books I’ve read in years (well, listened to on Audible…I suggest you try that, as Charlie reads it himself.) Charlie is a bit of a tortured soul, obsessed with putting himself in dire, painful situations mostly through extreme running. He’s dealt with alcoholism and drug-addition to an equally extreme degree.

One day in the fall of 2014, when I was still helping run a startup I co-founded (not the one I’m working for now), a client forwarded me an email he thought was suspicious. The email looked a lot like something my company would send. It linked to a website that looked a lot like ours that offered a great deal on the same service we provided. The site’s URL was almost identical to ours, too.
