Close. At many board meetings, I can be counted upon to ask, “Where’s the bottleneck this month?” Senior management is usually prepared with an answer, and a good discussion of resource availability and application follows.

Over the past 25 years, I’ve invested in many startups that sell products to large enterprises. Many of these companies end up either creating or helping to create a new category. As the startups (or the category) become visible, they inevitably attract the attention of industry analysts, who write reports on the categories and the startups as part of the industry analysts’ business.

As a freelancer, you understand and enjoy the immense freedom that comes with being your own boss. At the same time, just as even the most powerful CEOs are still under the authority of shareholders, as a freelancer, you’re still under the authority of people and companies to whom you have a financial obligation. Missing this fact can result in financial ruin for you and your family, so it’s important to understand the unique financial implications of being a freelancer in this moder

Well, here is a series of logical progressions that lead me to believe that in the near future, we will see the emergence of a new class of company.

Once your startup has taken off in your local market, expanding geographically is a natural next step. Asia is likely to be on your target list given its promising consumer market that comprises a burgeoning middle-class with a high spending power, as well as increasing mobile and internet connectivity. I’ve seen startups going down this path but risks that emerge in Asia can prove to be a deal-breaker if not managed from the onset.

First, they’ve hired Nathan Bashaw , previously of Gimlet and Hardbound, who is someone I believe thinks about storytelling, content and software in compelling ways. Way to go Nathan!

I really enjoyed Jesse’s first book, Living with a Seal. In that book, Jesse invites a Navy Seal to live with him for a month and train him. The result is hilarious and motivating, and you start to realize just how unique Jesse is.

We often see single founders slogging it out on their own. While this isn’t necessarily a “problem” that needs solving, it does warrant a discussion. Building a company by yourself can be challenging without a strong network around you. Founders can be reluctant to give up equity and control of their idea to bring in a co-founder alongside them to share in the decision making, as well as the highs and lows.
