Thanks to all of the amazing founders, advisors, co-investors, corporate partners, and others that helped make 2018 an amazing year. To that point, we are most excited when our founders are able to go from slide deck to product-market fit and Series A and beyond. We are truly grateful for your support. First check to Series A?—?congrats

I believe the single best report released from Bazaarvoice to describe this network effect with hard data is The Conversation Index, Vol. for example, check out The Entrepreneur’s Essentials #14: Selling to the “Cool Kids” , and I suggest hiring some great evangelists as full-time and part-time employees and also as Advisory Board members?—?check

The VP of Sales and I flew to Providence to convince Andy van Dam at Brown to join our company, or at a minimum lead our advisory board. As the conversation began to get down to how much stock and salary we could offer van Dam, we left the barber to finish his work and went to a payphone to call our CEO to confirm the deal.

Some startups fail because the founders cant have this conversation - they either blow up when they try, or they fail to change because they are afraid of conflict. Although I wish I could take credit for these pivots, the reality is that they were not caused by my singular insight or that of my other co-founders.

Great content again in September that meets at the intersection of startups, technology, product and being a Startup CTO. Shortly after we sold Opsware to Hewlett-Packard, I had a conversation with the legendary venture capitalist Doug Leone of Sequoia Capital. Advisory Board. Kanye West. Carpe Diem. It’s great advice.
