by Quint Studer, author of “ The Busy Leader’s Handbook: How To Lead People and Places That Thrive “ I remember an interesting conversation I had with a venture capitalist. We were discussing the qualities he looks for when thinking of buying a company. I was expecting to hear words like “profitability” and “growth potential.” But instead, the VC put self-awareness and coachability at the top of the list.

Over the past few years, “pre-seed” as a distinct category has emerged within the early stage fundraising landscape. To some degree the best way to describe a pre-seed round is that you know it when you see it, as the definition is squishy… but most pre-seed rounds are characterized as relatively small ($750K or less), early in company formation (pre-product), and typically followed by a larger “seed” round ($1M-$3M) within 12 months.

For children and their families, Halloween can be a fun and exciting time. For teenagers, however, the holiday represents a notorious excuse for devious behaviour like throwing raw eggs and toilet paper on any type of structure.

When this situation arises, it isn’t unusual for these childish hijinks to escalate into property damage or even serious crimes.

A conflict of interest occurs when an individual or an entity has a clash between personal and professional duties or responsibilities and that clash gives them the benefit of personal or professional reward. Often, this happens because someone has a vested interest such as money, status, knowledge or reputation that places them in a position where the position calls the objectivity of their decision-making into question.

Thankfully, the right technology can help you to do so.
