If you don’t know where you’re going, how will you know when you get there? I was having a second coffee with an ex student, now the head of a marketing inside a rapidly growing startup. His company had marched through customer discovery, learning about the customer problem, validated solutions and was now scaling sales and marketing. All good news.
Startup Professionals Musings

Startup investors tell me they invest in a new venture with a higher caliber of people, rather than the product or service, and I agree. In my role as a business advisor, I see successful businesses most often emerging from great teams rather than great products. Yet I find the people building teams are usually product experts, often with no experience in team building.

As an entrepreneur, you know that not every part of the job is glamorous. Buying insurance can feel like a hassle, but if you invest in finding the right policies now, you’ll save yourself from potential legal headaches and unexpected costs down the road. You probably have a lot of questions surrounding what specific risks different types of coverage actually protect against, and whether or not they apply to your business.
Speaker: Nick Noreña, Innovation Coach and Advisor, Kromatic
Every startup and innovation project exists within an ecosystem that either helps or hurts that project. As innovation managers, we need to keep a pulse of that ecosystem and make sure we're helping those innovation projects we're managing every step of the way. In this webinar, Nick Noreña will walk through an Innovation Ecosystem Model that he and his team at Kromatic have developed to help investors, heads of product, teachers, and executives understand how they can best support innovation in

If you’ve arrived at the genesis of an idea which you think can make money, it’s probably a fair bet that you won’t immediately want to explore the minutiae of HR. But the early steps you take in this area are crucial.

Three weeks ago, I had the pleasure of attending the Domino Data Science Pop-up , which was one of the best days of talks on data science that I have attended. You can check out recordings of the talks as well as copies of the presentations on SlideShare. I won’t dive into all the nitty-gritty discussions on math and statistics, but I do want to share some insightful discussions surrounding the definition and role of data scientists in today’s startups.

View from Seed

VC evaluation of seed-stage startups can seem arbitrary or imitative at times. Internally, the scarcity of tangible business metrics – product usage or revenue multiples for example – can make an investment decision feel daunting. Presented with various unknowns from any one pitch, VCs often lack an existing information infrastructure to examine in forming an opinion.

By the time Silicon Valley white privilege culture, tech magazines that promote only white faces, Ethereum/Bitcoin fanboys, sellout black tech wannabees and globalists promoting their blockchain consortium get a hold of this article, it’s already too late and the game already ended a while ago. The African-American community with a global movement known as the Afro-Tech quietly mastered blockchain/distributed ledger technology several years ago to benefit urban communities.

What is all this VR, AR, MR stuff? My last day at SXSW 2017. I spent my final day of South By Southwest on the VR/AR track. It was the official open for those sessions, but it would be the only one of the three days I could experience. As much as I would have loved to learn more, I’d arrived on March 10th for the start of the design sessions, so having even a single day of the AR/VR was great.

Welcome to the 21 st Century, where although we’re not quite as established as The Jetsons predicted, groceries can still be delivered by drones, some cars can drive themselves and dating app analogies can be used in the business world.

Every day, we create 2.5 quintillion bytes of data. To help get your head around just how much data this is, think of it in terms of blue-ray discs. It would fill 10 million, the height of which, when stacked, would measure as tall as four Eiffel towers on top of each other. In other words, we’re generating a lot. But is this a new trend? Well, 90% of the world’s data has been created in the last two years alone.

Firmly believing that we don’t belong, or that we don’t deserve to speak up during a conversation. Feeling like a fraud, and that someone will call us out for our shortcomings. Impostor syndrome has been a popular topic at SXSW this year, especially in panels concerning diversity in film and technology.
