Startup Professionals Musings
APRIL 27, 2015
If you are like most entrepreneurs I know, there just aren’t enough hours in a day to get all your own work done, as well as run the many one-hour meetings each team member seems to demand for decisions and mentoring. I have found it to be more productive and effective to lead with the model that no meetings will take an hour, and may be done in as little as five minutes.

Even Bill Gates, one of the most successful people in the world, isn’t immune to mistakes. It’s true that no one is perfect, and this shows itself in the business world as much as it does anywhere else. While entrepreneurs strive to do their best, mistakes are sometimes unavoidable. However, we small business owners can take some comfort in the fact that we’re not at the helm of a massive corporation where a mistake can cost millions.

By Melanie Astbury, HR Manager, officekitten.co.uk. We’ve all said it, ‘there are never enough hours in the day’. Weeks go past in a blur and ‘work-life balance’ sounds like a myth. But working hours on end does not always mean working productively. All work and no play takes its toll, often making us tired, tense, stressed and – above all – less able to arrive at logical and effective money-making decisions.

At Version One, we love marketplaces and platforms. Over 50% of our portfolio companies fall into this category including our recent investments in Headout (a mobile-first marketplace for last-minute travel experiences) and VarageSale (a mobile-first community-driven Craigslist).

With so much of our professional and personal lives playing out online, it’s critical for any business to have a strong presence in both spheres to thrive and grow. Even if your business is primarily offline, new potential customers are increasingly relying on online channels, such as search and social media, to research and inform their purchasing decisions.
The Equity Kicker
APRIL 27, 2015
The founding team sets the mould for future employees of a company. The oft repeated cliche that A players hire A players while B players hire C players is very true. So getting those first few team members right is key. And that includes the choice of co-founder. The challenge for entrepreneurs not lucky enough to know someone who can be their co-founder is that the majority of investors will only invest in co-founding teams.

I’m not one of those people that hates email because it gets too overwhelming. I actually very much like email as it beats the alternative: unnecessary meetings, phone calls, etc. I see email as a terrific tool that allows me to work at my own pace, tackling tasks when they are most convenient to me. But I probably feel this way because I’ve put a process around email that allows me to manage it (vs. it managing me).

Product reviews are an insightful part of a consumer’s purchase process. Before a consumer buys a certain product, they will want to know what other people have to say about that product. If people who have consumed the product have good things to say about the said product, the consumer will see this as a go-ahead. In fact, it is commonly recommended that before you pay for a particular product or service, you should first get online and read what other customers have to say about the same.

SEO is simple. NOT! Virtually every business relies to a certain extent on where they will appear in an online search for their service, product, or company name.
