By Johan Gunnars, CEO and cofounder of Simpliday. Nowadays, most kids — and maybe some adults — probably don’t recognize the old tradition of tying a string around your finger to remind yourself of something important. That’s because reminders, while still as valuable as ever, have evolved with technology (in most cases, for the better). However, even with all the tech options we have to help us remember things today, it can often still feel like daily life isn’t getting any easier or simpler.

We’d raise this money, users would just grow like crazy, and we’d have a huge company, and I’d be able to retire before I turned 25. … Just like in the movies. What happened? Well, I’m 25 and that’s still not the case.

There’s no point beating about the bush: Subscription businesses are the thing to start today. And, it’s not just because there are loads of things people feel they need or want on a regular basis, it’s because this business model makes money.

by Lewis Robinson. Ah. The upsell. Every marketing professional worth his or her salt knows about this sort of thing. It’s easy in theory to sell your clients a complementary product or more services at a higher price. It’s another thing to do it.

by Ned Ryan, CEO & co-founder of Breeze. Creating and building a startup in San Francisco at just 24-years-old is hard. Not just because statistically the majority of startups fail, but also because there are so many highs and lows that come with the experience of bringing your idea to life and turning it into a viable business. To be successful, you need to understand that it’s a 24-hour commitment, and that you’ve got to pour all your passion into your company.

Sometimes, I hear people talk about early stage investing in terms of “placing bets” It’s something that has rubbed me the wrong way for a while. In my first year as a VC, an old colleague of mine remarked that we shouldn’t talk about VC’s “doing deals” but instead, talk about “making investments” Similarly, I think good early stage investors shouldn’t “place bets” They should be making investments with conviction.
