by Jackson Cunningham, founder of Tuft and Paw. I’ve been in the ecommerce space for over 10 years. After starting 3 of my own successful companies, I’ve learned that it’s incredibly important to choose a category that you’re interested in. This isn’t revolutionary advice, but for newer entrepreneurs I don’t think the concept fully sinks in. Most of us are too focused on finding a “good opportunity” that we will sacrifice our passion in exchange and in many cases, the opportunity isn’t actually

Over the past decade, new platforms have driven down the cost of starting a tech business. For example, you don’t need to buy servers anymore – you can just host your site on AWS. And distribution has become immediate, efficient, and highly targeted thanks to Google and Facebook. The impact extends beyond technology companies too. In just the past few years it has become a lot less expensive to start a new business in many other verticals.

Who are we? Why are we here? Where are we going? These are the questions we ask ourselves when feeling philosophical. For startup owners, similar questions need to be asked about their company – particularly the product (or service) they’re providing their consumers.

Speaker: Nick Noreña, Innovation Coach and Advisor, Kromatic

It’s funny how life works, isn’t it? My wife and I started dating junior year of high school, just after I convinced her to let me “borrow” her Ray Kroc presentation (we were in different classes but had both chosen Ray Kroc to do our history report on.). Fast-forward a few years later and I followed her to Charlotte, her attending Davidson College and me at UNC-Charlotte.

While seemingly good news, a marketplace oversaturated with underemployment across all demographics is slowly but surely beginning to negatively impact this widely publicized spike in statistics.

My partner Seth Levine is writing a blog series on Designing the Ideal Board Meeting. Seth and I have each attended over 27,367 board meetings. Ok, I don’t know the actual number, but it’s a lot. We’ve both been on good boards and bad boards. Boards that have helped companies and boards that have sunk companies. Boards that know how to resolve conflict and boards that have multiple passive-aggressive actors engaged in a complex dance that serves no one, especially the company

As most people know by now, the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) became active in May. For those who refuse to follow the rules, stiff penalties and fines await. But even if you haven’t taken the steps to become compliant, you can still make it happen. What is the GDPR? In January 2012, the European Commission set out to develop plans for data protection reform across the entirety of the European Union.

Business people often say that it is necessary to spend money in order to make money. However, there are certainly some areas in which savings are especially appreciated and needed. In terms of the overall balance sheet, spending money on some green energy strategies can be hard to swallow in the short term, but beneficial in the long run.

There are over 2 billion users on Facebook , while Instagram has finally surpassed the 1 billion mark. Truly amazing numbers. For you as a business owner who’s looking to up your marketing game, this means that your customers are out there, ready and waiting. One snag, though: If you post your content without much thought, you won’t hit the spot. Instead, you’ll be as good as shooting an arrow into the universe in the vain hope that you’ll hit something.

If you cleaned out your inbox at the start of the year by hitting the ‘unsubscribe’ button on almost every email that came in, you aren’t alone. As a consumer of content you probably feel relieved, as a marketer, you should be worried.
