VCs sure do love writing. That being said, there are benefits to learning from past reflections — especially as we near national re-opening, and the theoretical “end” of the pandemic.

Of all the departments, the sales department is probably the one that’s most difficult to get right.

Health is something of huge concern since the turn of the decade. More people have frowned upon poor food choices. As seen in health documentaries, startups focused on fitness apps and awareness campaigns spread about the risk factors of chronic illnesses such as heart disease, cancer, and stroke.

If you own a craft brewery, you know that the little things matter. The types of hops you put in your IPA, the name you give your amber, the way you make this hazy IPA batch different from the last…the little things matter. Little moments add up. You put a ton of time, money, effort, and attention to detail into your business.
