Every new entrepreneur who has not spent years in corporate life has the advantage of an unbiased look at business opportunities, but at the same time has the disadvantage of missing critical business experiences that can cost them dearly in their first startup venture. In my experience, building a successful business is more difficult than building an innovative solution.
Speaker: Nick Noreña, Innovation Coach and Advisor, Kromatic

I simply wasn’t happy in corporate America. I was a square peg in a round hole and needed to be someplace where I could think creatively.

by Caitlin Kullberg, Alignable. Yesterday we at Alignable talked about how to use “Lure” in Pokémon GO to Lure New Customers. While the cost associated with this method is low, it could add up if you wanted to light up your PokéStop for hours at a time every day. It’s also possible you don’t have a PokéStop conveniently located right next door to your place of business.

The phrase “dedupe your processes” was created at a board meeting I was at last week. If you know our portfolio, you probably can figure out which board meeting it was based on the use of the word dedupe.

What is the most important factor to create a successful company? The answer is simple: you need happy, motivated and productive employees, who instead of counting minutes to leave, would actually love coming to the office every day. This can be reached by maintaining a suitable work environment. Firstly, we need to know what an office is. The Cambridge definition of an office is a room, set of rooms, or building, in which people are doing business or professional activities.

Someone asked me recently if they should raise a fund, because they had access to investments that were being made by "top, brand name investors". Whether there even is such a thing relies heavily on your perspective.

Image via HBO. Of all the television shows that center around businesses, none feel closer to reality than HBO’s “Silicon Valley.” The story of the fictional tech company Pied Piper and its many ups and downs is relatable to entrepreneurs that have gone through the hard knocks that come with trying to navigate the startup world.

Google might be the holy grail of analytics, and there’s little question that you need it plugged in if you want to track your website’s success. But that doesn’t mean Google Analytics is telling you the full story. In fact, your analytics could be telling you outright lies. GA doesn’t mean to lie, of course—not most of the time, anyway.
