A typical beginning package for a small company costs about $4 thousand a year, and covers a number of forms of liability both premises and product as well as employee use of self-owned cars for work, theft, employee dishonesty and more.

I’ve talked a lot on this blog about my feeling that small teams can accomplish more innovation than larger teams. I’ve written about why I love small teams , things that will kill a small team , and why Google is suffering by not having small teams. Talk about a flat structure!

A job that is part and parcel of one’s overall life mission, whereby the successful performance of it appeals to the best in all of us - self-respect, a sense of belonging and community, the inherent satisfaction of the work itself, and the satisfaction of contribution to a cause larger than our own needs.

In any given day I might bring in concepts from economics, psychology, music, theology, philosophy, biology, and any other number of areas of study to help us understand the process of new venture formation.

The goal was to create a non-boring resource for entrepreneurs centered around a combination of video interviews (RISE.the web show) with successful entrepreneurs, big thinkers and "doers" (as opposed to people that just talk about doing) as well as blog posts, videos and other goodies. Think about what you share with others on a daily basis.
