Both Sides of the Table
JUNE 22, 2011
I asked what the audience most needed to hear. This was an audience of mostly first-time entrepreneurs. I know that most people who are close to them tend to deny their existence, as we saw in the great housing bubble of 2002-2007 and the dot com bubble of 1997-2000. That asset class need not represent the broader market.

In other words, consumer-facing startups are likely to find a grateful and sizeable audience within and beyond the city limits. Another notable Austin-bred phenomenon is the Alamo Drafthouse — is cinema chain founded in 1997 that is famous for its food and drink service as well as maintaining proper cinema etiquette.

I remember the first time I read the Innovator’s Dilemma in 1997. Christensen, writing for a corporate audience, explained that there were two classes of products – sustaining and disruptive.

Michael Smith, leader of the Social Innovation team at the Case Foundation , introduced the Foundation as a non-profit started in 1997 by Steve Case (AOL co-founder) and his wife, Jean Case. Case Foundation didn’t have a website until 2005, although founded 1997. The real goal is growth; no one else hires. • How you can help: 1.

Getting fired from the very company he founded in 1985 before returning to it in 1997 to save it from financial ruin. When Pixar released Toy Story in 1995, Jobs understood that audiences weren’t interested in the process or technological tools that make up the Pixar animation system. That trauma? Technology should be invisible.

The best advice I can give to fellow entrepreneurs when it comes to staying motivated is to maintain close connections with your users, customers, or audience. For example, I used to handle finances and billing the first year because I didn’t want to spend any money in hiring a financial assistant. Photo Credit: Artur Meyster.

Back in 1997, the Nielsen Norman Group conducted the first study to determine how users read on the web. The challenge for Quadjobs or any other business that needs to speak to two distinct audiences on one page is making it clear what you want each to do (I could write an entire post on this.) In their words, “They don’t.”
