One of the biggest myths in the business world is that startups are no place for Baby Boomers, that aging generation born between 1945 and 1964. They couldn’t possibly understand the new social media culture, new technologies, or have the determination to beat their younger counterparts in the market.

Increasing Instagram posts’ engagement is increasingly becoming hard, thanks to the cut-throat competition from established brands and sponsored posts. There is no longer a guarantee that your posts will get the attention it deserves, and thus you might end up working so hard but get too little from your work. But you should not despair; there is a lot you can do to make your posts more engaging and still get the attention of other Instagram users.

Having spent time around and then in the world of VC in the Bay Area during the last decade, I’ve been reflecting on how different norms in the industry have changed.

We opened our own public library this week. On our lawn. It’s modest in size but made us part of a worldwide network called Little Free Libraries. Books have played a huge role in my life – always an enthusiastic reader and my first jobs were at a hometown public library and then a local indie bookstore. So when my daughter noticed these curious boxes on people’s lawns all over SF filled with books, we leapt to support her curiosity.
