Sometimes entrepreneurs are so focused on making change happen for customers that they forget that continually changing themselves and their company is equally important. Some get stuck in a rut and get run over by competitors with new technology, like Eastman Kodak, and others get pushed into a crisis, like Apple did, before they reinvent themselves into a new market.

by Andi Simon, author of “ On the Brink: A Fresh Lens to Take Your Business to New Heights” A company’s culture plays a significant role in how successful that company will be over the long haul.

People prefer to do business with other people (or things) who they know, like and trust. It makes sense. But how do you ever compete with established, big companies like Amazon that pretty much everyone knows, likes (well maybe not likes) and trusts. Surprisingly, it’s easy. You do it by achieving greater frequency. Frequency is simply the number of times your prospect sees you or your brand during a specific period of time.

There’s a question we ask ourselves when investing in a startup outside of the Bay Area: is their location a positive for the company? We believe great companies can be built in many locations – not just beloved Silicon Valley – but we do want to articulate *why* a specific company benefits from its geo. This can be based in the founders (strong hiring relationships locally), the local industry (access to customers, partners, talent) or academic hubs (research, talent).
