This is going to be BIG.

Every investor and entrepreneur knows there is something scary about the current startup economy. More entrepreneurs get to try out their ideas with smaller amounts of capital, but the bar remains the same to get to the bigger rounds. Valuations. Are their valuations justified? The have actual revenues that are growing.

In 2012 she was announced as one of the Young Global Leaders by World Economic Forum. A lot of great minds have amazing products and ideas but not the right (global) network. I am a global citizen, and I understand the global marketplace. My global network, for sure. Women in business are on the rise.

After a tumultuous week in global markets, today the US stock market ended higher on the session. After the market downturn on Monday I set several limit orders – primarily on tech holdings that I wanted to increase positions in – in my personal account and went back to meeting with entrepreneurs.

The movie, “The Social Network” might have had more of an impact on creating future entrepreneurs than any other event of the past 5 years. Yes, it’s true that FOMO (fear of missing out) is driving some irrational behavior and valuations amongst uber competitive deals and well-financed VCs. Thank you, Aaron Sorkin!

A single track conference with a maximum cap of 400 attendees offers an intimate, collaborative environment where founders and entrepreneurs can get to know one another. Founded in 1999, Etail was one of the first conferences devoted to e-commerce, and it remains one of the biggest. eTail East. Boston, USA.

Facebook and Google would be obvious choices for this, but so much has been written about each of them and they represent such special business models, I worried that it would be both hard for entrepreneurs to relate and hard for me to develop new insights.

Valuations were enormous relative to progress in companies. Companies with less than $2 million in revenue were asking for $50-60 million valuations and getting them. I spent my days meeting companies, figuring out what areas of the market interested me and trying to get a sense for how VCs thought about fair valuations.

Today’s economy is substantially more freelance for one, but as it pertains to technology and innovative entrepreneurship, we find ourselves in an era that is bringing tech to traditional industries that have yet to have fully embraced what the internet has caused: data, connectivity, globalization, scalability, and efficiency. Imagine that.

For public investors in Facebook to achieve returns comparable to those of Microsoft shareholders, Facebook would need to reach a market cap of $500 trillion, a number that well exceeds the total global market cap of all listed stocks. In fact, if you exclude the Dot Com Bubble of 1999-2000, they have been steady for nearly thirty years.

These standards allowed global collaboration and expanded the boundaries of trade. I believe the massive valuation increases in cryptocurrencies we’ve witnessed of late are not based on any fundamentals other than speculation and a drive for a quick profit by many who have gained from the market hype. Regulation will come.
