by Dr. Katrina Burrus , author of “ Managing Brilliant Jerks: How Organizations and Coaches Can Transform Difficult Leaders into Powerful Visionaries “ Toxic workplaces sometimes start at the top.

I don’t really have a particular goal with this post. I’m just sharing. When I started leading deals at First Round Capital, I sourced investments in 8 companies. GroupMe, Singleplatform and Backupify all had really good exits, especially if you’re just looking at the multiples of the pre-seed/seed rounds, which is what I’m focused on now. I found GroupMe at the Techcrunch Disrupt Hackathon.

Some entrepreneurs start polling venture capitalists for that multi-million dollar investment before they even have a business plan. That’s like trying to sell part of something to a stranger for big money when you haven’t fully defined it yet. It won’t work, it costs time and money, and hurts your credibility when you need them later. Every entrepreneur needs help and support along the way, from developing the initial idea, to selling off the successful business (exit strategy).

Larry Nelson, a very close friend, passed away on Friday. If you don’t know Larry, he was a super positive participant in the Boulder and the Denver startup communities for many years. He and his wife Pat produced w3w3.com well before podcasts were trendy (Larry and Pat referred to it as “Internet Talk Radio.”) I always thought of Larry and Pat as the encouraging storytellers of the Boulder and the Denver startup communities.

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have all had to make changes to our everyday lives. Some people have only had to make small adjustments, whereas others have had to make significant alterations. Some of us can’t dine at our favorite restaurant, visit with friends or even go to work. But we all recognize that in these extraordinary times, these adjustments are necessary.

Modern organizations rely on internal networks to boost efficiency and make information-sharing accessible to authorized members. The only problem with such an infrastructure is that it’s vulnerable to various kinds of cyberattacks. Startups should also think about the kind of cybersecurity protocols and tools they need to combat data theft and sabotage.

In an age where loans are harder to come by than ever, it seems behind the times that technology hasn’t already further accelerated an individual’s capacity to explore different methods of funding. .

We all deserve to have a career or a business that makes us excited to get out of bed in the morning. As the saying goes, when you love what you do, you never work a day in your life, because it is something that you are passionate about. If your current work or career situation isn’t something that gets you excited about life or it isn’t what you had hoped it would be, you are certainly not alone.

The fact that your board is having a discussion about forming an advisory board is a good indication that it’s time to put the issue on your board’s agenda for discussion. You never know what experiences and perspectives your fellow board members will have on a certain topic once you bring it out into the open. Keep your discussion focused on the purpose that an advisory board would serve for your organization and what you expect them to accomplish for your organization.
