The recent surge in cases involving high-profile data breaches and consumer information misuse such as the Facebook and Cambridge Analytica scandal has made users warier of the state of their data privacy while using the internet. As a result, internet-savvy consumers are paying a closer attention to the privacy features of sites they visit before making use of them. .

Advancements in technology excite us because they make our lives easier and more convenient. As technology advances and evolves, it gives criminals increasing opportunities to access sensitive information, engage in identity theft, and it poses financial and other risks. For example, Norton Security states that cybercriminals hit the financial services industry harder than any other industry in 2018 and the few years preceding it.
Speaker: Nick Noreña, Innovation Coach and Advisor, Kromatic

Most startup ideas begin in the mind of an individual, but an idea is not a business. It takes a team, with effective leadership, to build a business. Many aspiring entrepreneurs default to team leadership by domination and control. Yet in my experience, the best entrepreneurs quickly learn the art of people connection. They connect and inspire the right people to achieve more with less.
View from Seed

In previous blog posts I’ve written about the two main approaches to building a seed round syndicate – the subscription method (where an entrepreneur presets a structure with a convertible note or SAFE and recruits investors who subscribe to the round, all without a term-driving lead investor) and a term-driving lead investor approach. The former is most common post-accelerators (typically YC), but is much more rare in attracting intuitional seed investors in other contexts (though it can be

You’ve probably received triggered emails in your own email inbox, but maybe you’ve never thought about the impact they have on a company’s email marketing. . Some of the most commonly seen trigger emails, and the ones you’ve probably received, include purchase confirmation orders and shipping reminders. But triggered emails provide companies with so much more opportunity than just these two transactional touchpoints.

Research is a critical component of all ventures conducted by entrepreneurs. An idea on its own has little chance of succeeding if you don’t put in the legwork of observing your competition closely, performing thorough online research, attending networking events and speaking to other people who are involved in your business sector. One key facet of this research is your target market and the consumers whom you hope to win over.

Half a lifetime of entrepreneurship — soaring victories, crushing setbacks, and the unceasing, unheralded work required of any small business owner — prepared David Janeson well for his latest project: turning around Gull Harbour Marina, the storied Manitoba resort bought by Janeson and his wife Lori Janeson in 2016. Gull Harbour’s potential was clear as day to the Janesons, who quickly set about rehabilitating the property.

Nonprofit leadership is struggling. More than 80 percent of nonprofits have management issues, and only 11 percent are prepared for growth. That’s why leadership development is so important. The problem is an old, hierarchical approach to leadership—one adopted from the for-profit sector. This top-down leadership style is based on one person controlling direct reports, but it’s no longer effective.

A fellow startup entrepreneur recently told me that he went to a talk by an ex-cop who was a hostage negotiator. The negotiator was trying to educate business professionals on how to better negotiate business deals using the same psychological tactics he employed successfully among kidnappers. After hearing him sharing the experience at the seminar, I do agree that there are similarities between a business negotiation and the hostage version.

When it comes to the advice given online to business owners, there tends to be a rather specific perspective among a lot of it. This perspective tends to revolve around the challenges faced by businesses when they first start. And there’s a pretty good reason for this. After all, the reality is that the first year of a business’s life involves some of the biggest challenges that you will ever face.

Traffic attribution identifies which sources drive visitors to a web property. And it’s impossible to credit a conversion to the correct source without first knowing how a visitor got to a website. In other words, the foundation of conversion attribution is traffic attribution. Simple as it may sound, attributing a session to its traffic source can be tricky, even impossible.

Every year I teach classrooms full of students who leave class understanding the basics of how to search for product/market fit—and thinking their next goal is to “get funded.”. That’s a mistake. There are two reasons to raise money: You have a killer idea that is only partially validated, that you think can get to $50M+ of revenue in 5 years with 80%+ gross margins (if margins are lower, you need a lot more revenue)and you need money to get to product-market fit, or.
