The signals are loud and clear : seed and late stage valuations are getting frothy and wacky, and hiring talent in Silicon Valley is the toughest it has been since the dot.com bubble. Rules for building a company in 2011 are different than they were in 2008 or 1998. In the new bubble PR may be your new best friend, so invest in it.

I hired another guide to help with the load, and I started charging for tickets to pay the guide. My PR journey started with an amazing position with the renowned Jason Dady restaurant group in San Antonio, Texas. I hire the best, so we’re all able to have it all.

Teten : No one ever got fired for hiring Och-Ziff, or any other of the massive hedge funds. Teten : As a thought experiment, imagine a quant pure black box hedge fund, “UltraQuant,” which hires a lot of impressive PhDs. We over-weighted small cap value stocks in 1998-2002. Chernick : A big allocator cannot choose index funds.

One of the best tricks I learned during our startup was a rule for deciding who to hire. And when businesspeople try to hire hackers, they cant tell which ones are good.Even other hackers have a hard time doing that. When we got real funding nearthe end of 1996, we hired a great CFO, who fixed everything retroactively.

When I decided to create full time creative business, I couldn’t find online marketers or PR services who understand the creative process, this meant I was doing everything in the business from online presence, to markets and exhibits which resulted in burnout.

I started my company to increase the awareness about marketing within the small business community (what it is, what it is not, how to know you’re doing it right, etc) as I come across many that confuse marketing with PR or sales and are frustrated when their marketing programs don’t create the sales boost they expect.
