'I believe we’re going to look back in 2-5 years and realize that we’ve been in a once a decade boom for internet & software startups. It doesn’t feel much like a boom actually. The macroeconomy has been stuck in a tepid recovery in the US, a period of decelerating growth in emerging markets, and a double dip recession in much of Europe.

'The tablet as popularized by Apple’s iPad has become so dominant that in many instances it’s already displaced the laptop as the choice mobile device for many, and consigned to the technology trash heap of history the ill-fated netbook. But while many of us may own an iPad, there are some who still haven’t mastered its use – there are tons of little shortcuts and tricks that many of us haven’t yet discovered.

I’m also a fan of focused investment strategies – they allow you to build expertise resulting in better investment decisions and better deal flows as entrepreneurs seek out your expertise.

'There are eight key things angel investors will look for when considering whether or not to fund your business. No, you don''t have to satisfy all of these criteria. But the more of them you do, the better the chance they will say "yes" to your funding request. #1: They Like You Believe it or not, this is really important. No matter how good your venture is, if the investor doesn''t like you, they generally won''t fund you.

'Entrepreneurs like to use pessimistic numbers, because they prepare us for the absolute “worst case.” Alas, we use flawed pessimistic numbers. The real worst case is inevitably way worse than our most pessimistic expectations. When we write a business plan full of business growth projections, we use pessimistic numbers. When we estimate how much work our new technician can get done every day, we used pessimistic numbers.

'I’ve been thinking a lot about what Angelist means for the entrepreneurial ecosystem, especially here in Boston where I live. I continue to think that seed/angel investing is a pretty local endeavor, and even more so when one is hoping to lead rounds or be instrumental to catalyzing a financing or boosting the long-term prospects of a company.

'“What the internet is doing now is connecting everyone and everything, every event and every thought, in multiple ways — layer upon layer of connection. Increasingly, everything that happens and everything we do, everyplace you go and check in, every thought you have and share, and every person who liked that thought… is all connected…and it keeps multiplying relentlessly.

'Over 13 years ago, in March of 2000, I wrote a blog post titled “ The Most Powerful Internet Metric of All. ” The key thesis was this: if an Internet company could obsess about only one metric, it should be conversion. No other metric so holistically captures as many critical aspects of a web site – user design, usability, performance, convenience, ad effectiveness, net promoter score, customer satisfaction – all in a single measurement.
