by Shane Kenny, founder of Filtersnap. I love the fast-paced, see-my-work-have-a-big-impact nature of a new startup. I love it so much that, since middle school, I have been part of starting eight businesses. Admittedly, they have not all been successful. Some have been spectacular failures. Despite this, I have been drawn by the siren call of the startup once again.

An interesting set of observations from Silicon Collar While analysts are predicting doom and gloom from automation to other sectors, they themselves continue with a labor and paper intensive model based on dated, static tools like Magic Quadrants and Waves.

Memories are like a treasure trove, and we capture and preserve them in the form of videos, files, and photos. It is a truth that the importance of something is realized when it is lost but losing the files of these precious moments is quite painful and heartbreaking. Nevertheless, do not worry as our technology has made much advancement and now we do not need to regret losing the important data and files.

Recently I wrote about how I think about private company acquisition strategies using FullContact as the example of one where it is working well. Last week I was at a board meeting for a different company which did an acquisition a month ago. I heard a fantastic line from the founder of the company that had been acquired. It’s business as usual except better.

Some things in life have to be hard in order to be worthwhile. A workout that doesn’t make your break into a sweat probably isn’t doing much good for your health and fitness. A two ingredients cake is unlikely to be delicious as a more complex one. But in business, and in the office more specifically, not everything has to be hard. So, how can you make office life easier?

I read two great posts advising founders on fundraising this morning. The first was a deck with pointers on fundraising from Jason Friedman of LionBird, which made two points I want to pick out and expand on (the rest of the deck is great too, and well worth a full read): 60% of fundraisings take three months or more (slide 2). “How long should I leave to raise my round?

Is the thought of sitting in a home office all day preventing you from taking the leap to become your own boss? If you’re like me, even thinking of a week without social interaction is enough to give you cabin fever. And you know what? That’s completely normal. As humans, we are hardwired to connect —it’s even healthy to want to do as much. So, how do you get the best of both worlds—your own home office, but also that all-important external stimulation?

Growth happens when you are uncomfortable. When you exercise, that uncomfortable burn, is your muscles strengthening. When you step on stage for your first ever speech, it the necessary yet super uncomfortable step to mastering the craft. When you delay that uncomfortable collections call, your money will wait until you do. The roadblock to success, progress and improvement is the familiar.

I have been part of some the best conversion optimization teams in the world, and they seem to have an intuitive sense on how to run the best experiments. People that are involved in these teams share a similar mindset. I wanted to try to make this a process, one that could teach any organization how to run better experiments. I wanted to try to make this mindset more explicit in a way that is fun to use.

Projects, Projects, Projects. Innovation is complex and difficult — but one thing about it is not. What’s quite simple about innovation is that projects are what make innovation real. The following concepts, frameworks, approaches, etc. are Not Innovation. Unless they are in the context of an actual project. Thinking about things is not innovation.

Hingis when she beat one of my favorite all-timers, Jana Novotna. Last month I shared an email on this blog that I had sent to a young CEO that I mentor. I find that, while in person meetings are always best, sometimes the best conversations I have with other leaders is a back-and-forth on email, text, or Slack. I had another exchange with a different young entrepreneur recently that I thought I would share.
