When you’re pitching your business, the time allotted will impact a great deal of what you should do and say. If you’re going to have a five minute time block followed by a Q&A, you will need to approach that differently than if you’re giving a one-minute presentation. So how do you know what to include in pitching opportunities for varying lengths of time?

Despite the rush in every academic institution to offer more courses on entrepreneurship, I still haven’t found it to be something you can learn in school. Of course, you can pick up the basic principles this way, but the problem is that the practical rules for success are changing so fast that no academic can keep up. The best thing you can learn in school is how to learn.

Direct marketing is still a widely accepted and efficient way of engaging with sales prospects, but there are right ways and wrong ways to send a prospecting email to your audience. One of the challenges? To ensure that your mail avoids new spam filtering systems that will heartlessly send your beautifully crafted email creation into digital hell. For example, the CAN-SPAM ACT of 2003 dictates that that Internet Service Providers (ISPs) weed out promotional spam that violate its guidelines.
Speaker: Nick Noreña, Innovation Coach and Advisor, Kromatic

SEO – or Search Engine Optimization – is often seen as complicated and difficult. Actually in some ways, SEO can actually be very easy and straightforward. If you are relatively new to SEO, here are a few important points that will get you started in no time at all. On-site SEO is just as important as off-site SEO. Many new site owners make the mistake of focusing more on building – or even buying – backlinks and seeking guest posting and promotional opportunities, they actually forg

As a company, you may not realize the importance of social media. You probably use things like Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and Instagram for your own personal use, maybe even on a daily basis. But maybe you just haven’t thought of how these things can work for your business. There are many ways that social media can help businesses. And, luckily, there are many social media platforms that can work with almost any type of business.

By Vanessa Richardson. Social networks have gained genuine power as a marketing tool for businesses looking to increase their reach, traffic and leads. But there’s no guarantee that the places where most social networking happens now will be the same places hosting it in the future. More companies are realizing that sending their valued customers to Facebook and Twitter, then “buying them back” by spending money on ads on those sites, is not a great marketing strategy.

Amazon. It is a household name. It has become so synonymous with Internet companies that the French have invented a disdainful term including Amazon: “les GAFA,” which they refer to as Google-Apple-Facebook-Amazon to talk about American dominance of the Internet. Try to imagine if you *didn’t* already know Amazon and the company walking into VC meetings telling people they were going to disrupt the selling of all goods starting with books but then extending into electronics, ap

Amy and I saw Ex Machina last night. A steady stream of people have encouraged us to go see it so we made it Sunday night date night. The movie was beautifully shot and intellectually stimulating. But there were many slow segments and a bunch of things that bothered each of us. And, while being lauded as a new and exciting treatment of the topic, if you are a BSG fan I expect you thought of Cylon 6 several times during this movie and felt a little sad for her distant, and much less evolved, cous

I have a draft deck put together for a next Brooklyn Bridge Ventures fund. I pretty much hate it. Don't get me wrong--the numbers look great. That's not it. It just doesn't really get at what's really important. I wasn't sure exactly how it missed, so I went back to first principles. What *is* really important for a venture fund? It really only boils down to a couple of questions--and that's how I'm going to simplify the story of my deck.

Whenever I a door knocker comes to my home to sell me something I probably don’t need, or already have – like electricity, I always tell them the same thing: Congratulations – you’re going to be rich! Yep, I give them praise for what they are doing (one of the most difficult jobs there is). I then go onto tell them about how the skills they are gathering will give them a massive life advantage in any developed economy.

One of the core functions of a VC is to identify the next generation of disruptive companies. I presented last month to a Microsoft senior executive offsite on how large corporations can do the same, to inform their investing, M&A, and competitive intelligence. My presentation was based on my research on deal origination best practices by VCs.

On occasion I write about legislation pending in our houses of Congress that has the potential to positively impact your business and mine. It is fascinating to read in the news about some of the ideas and priorities that our elected representatives are pursuing as we speak. Some of these efforts gain a great deal of attention via the media, but most of them are somewhat obscure (unless you’re willing to dig a little ) and will never even make it onto our radars.
