Google is one of the biggest and most profitable companies in the world. Although Google has derived most of its success in the internet and software service sectors, its forays into hardware promise to boost its future revenue potential.

Peter Drucker famously said, “What gets measured gets managed.” But what if your measurement data is incorrect? What if you’re not measuring correctly or completely? What if there’s a whole pile of things you think you’re measuring when really… you’re not? The fact is that a lot of the people relying on Google Analytics are relying on bad data.

Over the past decade, startups and enterprises have devoted hefty resources to collecting and analyzing huge volumes of big data. For some, data is used to fine-tune a product; in other cases, data forms the foundation of the product itself. When it comes to building a startup around data, the more unique that data, the better. As I wrote last week in reference to machine learning startups , algorithms have mainly become a commodity these days.
This is going to be BIG.

Systems administrators get all sorts of data from all sorts of places and don't have a holistic view as to what's happening. More parts throw off more data, which makes optimizing and troubleshooting that much harder over time. That was the Datadog pitch in late 2010, my first full year of leading deals, that I got from two software engineers. Makes sense, no?

I spent an hour yesterday at The Corner Boxing Club. I spent an hour with Carrie Barry (the founder) learning the very, very, very basics. And I got an incredible workout that had me in bed reading – after a bath – by 9pm. I love trying new things. Often, I only do something once if I’m not interested in it, but I’ll definitely be back to The Corner Boxing Club.

“EIEIO” is the sound that Old McDonald made when he saw his balance sheet for January. Everybody knows that farming is not the most lucrative job in the world, or even Nebraska. So there have to be reasons to get into the business besides wanting to join the Bill Gates club. That said, there are ways to prepare for your January cash flow problems in advance.

I’ve just been reading First Round’s The 30 Best Pieces of Advice for Entrepreneurs in 2015. I love what those guys are doing and it’s a great read. A must read really. I want to take one of their ideas and expand on it a little.

After a false start in the mid 2000’s podcasting is back killing radio. For anyone who spends a fair amount of time driving, exercising, travelling or just existing as a human, it is the ultimate short cut to ‘get learned’ by some of the worlds best thinkers – University on Wheels say some. So here are some great podcasts I literally rub my ear balls in whenever I am on the move.

Some markets are obviously very big. Curing cancer? Health Insurance? Food delivery? Very big. But many markets seem niche. This is true of both consumer and business facing companies. When most startups are created, they seem to be going after niche markets. Sometimes, these companies do go on to be huge huge businesses.

Seeing Both Sides

As a former entrepreneur, I have always viewed venture capital as a service business. That’s a funny line for many because, historically, VCs are viewed (and at times reviled) as judges or overlords. When we started Flybridge over thirteen years ago, we developed a firm mission statement that we would treat early stage founders as our valued customers and have lived by this mission throughout our history.
