Happy New Year! Here at Version One, we are very excited for 2020, but before we kick off a new year, we want to recap some of the highlights from last quarter. Q4 2019 was a busy quarter for us, and here’s some select news on the Version One family. Let’s ride the momentum into 2020! Fundraises and accolades. We announced our investment in Scanwell Health , which closed a $3.5M seed round.

About a year ago, my partner David Beisel talked about how seed fundraising is no longer a local game , and that the best entrepreneurs seek out the best investors for them outside of their home market. That being said, it’s much easier to put a seed round together when you have a local lead who can help catalyze the round. So much of seed investing is about the team , and it’s just much easier to build conviction around a team when you can meet at moment’s notice and spend time together in-pers

by Quint Studer, author of “ The Busy Leader’s Handbook: How To Lead People and Places That Thrive “ From time to time, most of us have experienced or even contributed to workplace drama. It can take many different forms: People gossip, spread rumors, complain, lash out emotionally, rant about a perceived wrong, purposely exclude others, take sides in conflicts, and so forth.

The phrase “frog in a blender” was in my head all afternoon. Earlier in the day, one of my partners described a situation as the cliche-ish “ boil a frog slowly ” and I responded with “We’d all be better off if we just put the frog in a blender.” That generated grimaces. I couldn’t find any “Will it Blend” for frogs, but I found the next best thing – Pickled Pigs Feet.

The attention economy is characterized by a febrile atmosphere in which consumers can feel overwhelmed by choice and are often compelled to make split second decisions on where to spend their cash. In times past, a dusty storefront or impolite greeting might have seen a customer pass by your shopfront in favour of a ship-shape neighbouring emporium run by a well-mannered rival.

Whether you’re a small business or the biggest asset manager in the world, you’ll need to pay attention to the rapid fintech disruption facing banking and fund transfer systems. Facebook caused no small stir when it announced plans to launch an Exchange Traded Fund (EFT) based on Libra – a digital asset backed by a basket of currencies. Although the social media giant has since hit up against roadblocks, it’s giant brand name, global reach, and investment capability could take its cu

One of the biggest challenges we overcame at Skylift was getting product-market fit to prove to investors we had a viable business. . At Skylift, we helped firefighters cut half the time in extinguishing wildfires. We did this by enabling them to focus all their attention on extinguishing the fires and letting us handle the short-range logistics. As a result, we helped save millions of dollars in economic loss and firefighting costs for the nation.

From Google and Facebook ads to sponsored content on LinkedIn to banner ads on other websites, advertising online has been around for a while. Just because it’s an established marketing channel, though, doesn’t mean it’s lost any of its relevance.

It’s 2020, but the wage gap is still a very real issue for women in the United States. Across the country, women make an average of 81 cents for every one dollar a man makes. In advanced professions like law and medicine, that ratio drops to nearly 70 cents per dollar. Though more individuals, brands, and organizations speak out against the wage gap every day, raising awareness and working to promote gender equality, there remains an underlying issue many are unaware of.

The entrepreneurial spirit is alive and well at my company, Dragon Army. Not everyone can (or wants to) be an entrepreneur. I get that. We’re a crazy, risk-taking, ADHD kinda group. In fact, statistically speaking, starting a company is one of the worst decisions you can make. I was “born” into being an entrepreneur. Partly because my father had his own business (vending), but also partly because I haphazardly started my first company in college and was immediately hooked.
