Despite regulatory complications and federal illegality, becoming a multi-state operator, or MSO, is still one of the most valuable things you can do for your company in the cannabis industry. Identify industry operators that do things well and reach out. Roll your sleeves up and find other good people who are actual operators. .

A tech entrepreneur and inventor, Brandon McNaughton was entrepreneur in residence for Detroit Innovate , an early-stage venture fund. Now that’s operating in uncertainty. We were hiring our first employee … we didn’t have a lot of (money in the bank), we only had one grant $350,000 at the moment.

Austin Startup

APRIL 7, 2017

Two weeks before my scheduled start date (and a week after I put down a deposit for a downtown lease), HR called to let me know that the company over-hired for their Austin office and that I could re-interview in Mountain View, CA. And yes, I would be on the hook for breaking the lease! But as is usually the case, things worked out.

In townslike Houston and Chicago and Detroit its too small to measure. Standards arehigher; people are more sympathetic to what youre doing; the kindof people you want to hire want to live there; supporting industriesare there; the people you run into in chance meetings are in thesame business. Afterthat theres not much.

Palantir – we’ll build arcane analytics software, put the company in California, hire a bunch of new college grad engineers, many of them immigrants, hire no sales reps, and close giant deals with D.C.-based based defense and intelligence agencies! Craigslist – it will be ugly. It will be free. Except for the hookers.

You meet interesting people backstage at conferences and in 2013 that included Jonathon Triest who started Detroit-based Ludlow Ventures. I could have gotten a nastygram, but instead got hired… client numero uno was in the books. HW: Sooooo Detroit VC scene. That’s not something I’ve seen outside of Detroit.

Several years prior to this my wife started a newborn photography business, over time I became more involved in the back end operations of the business and within several years had helped her grow her business into a full-time professional position. This was with the companies who wanted to hire them. I just could not sell myself.

One by one the markets in which you operate shut down. And these are people that we spent so much time to hire. We went through hundreds of thousands of resumes to hire those 1,900 people and we do so much to bring them in and to have to say goodbye to them, I'd say that was the hardest part. You can't really operate.

This is the first post in what’s going to be a series of blogs on how to go from nothing – no connections, no team, no money and no knowledge of how the startup industry really works – to operating a growing business. Inevitably, the excuses begin: I need to hire people to build the product. I don’t know any developers. No legal muck.

Both Sides of the Table

AUGUST 9, 2011

Mostly we got to see the team operate in stressful times and that changed my perspective on the deal. We have the inability to hire engineering in Silicon Valley or brand sales people in NYC but the country still has very high structural long-term unemployment. Depressing. It felt awful. I need leaders who manage in good times and bad.To
