CAMBRIDGE I / ALEJANDRO GUIJARRO. Over the past two decades the internet has reshaped our daily lives and the world of business—so it’s not surprising that it’s transforming how companies develop talent. The emergence of a “personal learning cloud” makes it convenient and affordable for people to access new ways to learn.

By Marta Dawydzik and Andrea Hak In recent months when you heard about the UK there’s a 99 percent chance it was about Brexit (and a 1 percent chance it was about Theresa May’s painfully awkward dance moves). However, the shaky negotiations and a very uncertain future (both economically and politically) have not stopped the UK’s startups from growing.

Before Instacart, he was at LinkedIn and Microsoft. I always learn a ton from him and this conversation was no exception.

As a kid I’d prowl graveyards with my mother, tightly holding sheets of wax paper and thick, flat Crayolas. Macabre backdrop for sure, but our interest was in art not mischief. Upon discovering a tombstone with especially interesting inscriptions or carved pictures we’d overlay the wax paper and rub the crayon up and down the sheet. The resulting artifact was a color representation of the words and images beneath.

Seeing ads regularly surge up on YouTube is just one example of how startups continually target students. College students are the desirable demographic for most startups, but why so? Statistics say that younger people haven’t formed brand loyalties and therefore are easier converted than older people. Brand loyalty is critical to a marketing strategy.

Yesterday I received a note from a founder that I advise that they are shutting down their company, returning what remains of funds, and winding down the service. It is an unfortunate but common outcome amongst startups of all types – in this case a venture backed team that was onto something in a big way. It is a far departure from their meteoric rise, subsequent revenue, and investment from third parties.

Whenever we go on the internet to check out how much something costs, we expect that it could change by the day, the hour or even the minute. Heck, it feels like they put the price up if we dare to look at something twice – especially that flight for a weekend getaway. We’ve been trained in digital forums to know that prices are in a constant state of flux – dynamic.

While most of the money that goes into VC funds comes from institutions that are highly experienced in the asset class, some family offices and high net worth individuals also invest in VC. They’re trying to get exposure and diversification at the same time, while potentially seeing co-investment deal flow. A lot of VC fund pitches—and I know this because I used to vet VCs for a living as an institutional limited partner at a pension fund—sound the same.
