Did you know that only about 30% of small business websites are currently mobile-friendly? That means that about 70% of the small business owners out there need to do something about that right away. Mobile-friendliness has always been an important part of SEO. This is why Google switched to mobile-first indexing a few years ago. That’s when most small business owners should have ensured that their mobile site performance was good.

We’ve arrived at the conclusion that we come up with our best ideas when bouncing off each other on the phone.

Moving into the energy industry was a smart move. Today, the profit margins are high, especially for companies willing to invest in green technologies to help save the planet. However, the fact that the sector is somewhat unregulated means there is plenty of competition and high market saturation rates. Therefore, it’s hard for customers and clients to choose a brand they can trust, so engagement can be low.

Fund investing, like adulting, is boring. That’s the first thing anyone trying to raise a fund needs to understand, as well as anyone thinking about investing in one. The partner at the fund, the VC, gets to do the fun part—the meeting with founders, vetting deals, negotiating, helping, etc. You get, if you’re lucky, a Powerpoint and some financials once a quarter.

There is a reason “unprecedented” is regularly used to describe the start of this new decade. Life as we know it is a far cry from life as we knew it, with sudden global shifts to supply chains and operating conditions impacting heavily upon startups. More than half of Canadian startups report their industry as being “affected significantly” by the pandemic, and perhaps even more concerning is the toll on mental wellbeing.

Most innovations come from responding to a customer’s needs, or finding a niche where products need improvement or extension. It is rare to innovate using a blank sheet of paper in a room with bare walls and no other contributors. A thought exercise. Imagine the room in which several graduate business school student groups have gathered, tasked with coming up with an idea for a business plan competition.
