Your website is your digital shop window, in the same way as high street stores have actual windows through which shoppers can take a look at what they are selling and start to make decisions about what they want to buy. It’s your opportunity to entice people to your product and keep them engaged. Most websites work best if they are uncluttered , simple to read and understand and easy to navigate.

A lot of time can be spent choosing the perfect startup name. Conventional wisdom says that the name should be less than 10 characters, easy to remember, and the.com has to be acquirable. Startup names can be descriptive (PayPal), suggestive (Amazon), or even fanciful (Apple). Once you find the perfect name for your startup, it’s hard to think that any other name could fit the company you are building.

Oh I was so intimidated to meet Virginia Heffernan for the first time. She was a cultural critic at the New York Times and writing about YouTube in a way that no one else was. About its communities, content niches, the aesthetic of the first wave of user content. In a manner which was academically-informed but not stuffy. Critiquing but not judging.

The future is here it’s just distributed unevenly – Silicon Valley view of tech adoption. The threat is here it’s just distributed unevenly – A2/AD and the aircraft carrier. Sitting backwards in a plane with no windows, strapped in a 4-point harness, wearing a life preserver, head encased in a helmet, eyes covered by googles, your brain can’t process the acceleration.

A question we’re often asked during conversations with early-stage entrepreneurs is “What do investors look for when considering a Seed or Series A startup?” At some point, this question might be followed by “What does it take to get to Series B?”. The expected trajectory takes a startup from Seed to Series A, Series A to Series B, and so on. But as our good friend Christoph Janz at Point Nine Capital points out, “ financing rounds are obviously not a goal in itself.

Building a business from the ground up is no walk in the park, as there are many aspects involved in the funding and financing of a successful endeavor. It’s not an exaggeration to say that a versatile entrepreneur needs to be multi-talented in areas related to business management, accounting, and planning.

I'm a founder. Sure, I'm an investor, too, but I started Brooklyn Bridge Ventures , the firm I invest out of. That means that in addition to thinking about what kinds of investments I'm going to make, I need to think about where I'm going to work, payroll, business cards, all that stuff. As we've seen, the "business stack" of a variety of services entrepreneurs run on everyday has changed dramatically over the last few years.

I’m currently reading (well, listening to on Audible) Warren Buffett’s book, The Snowball. In one section he talks about the importance of valuing your Inner Scorecard more than your Outer Scorecard. From the book: “The big question about how people behave is whether they’ve got an Inner Scorecard or an Outer Scorecard. It helps if you can be satisfied with an Inner Scorecard.

If you’re like most marketers, you don’t live an ivory tower. You try to follow “best practices” with your marketing campaigns and site, but with your limited resources, you have to spend your time on the tactics that make the biggest difference. Unfortunately, most best practice recommendations don’t take real life into account. Not every company has a well-managed CRM, a call tracking platform, a solid testing strategy and a big testing budget to boot.

One of the CEOs I coach starts his day by walking the floor of his extended facility and checking in with managers and employees of the various departments, especially the call center. He tries to feel the pulse of the company by the intensity of motion, the metrics of backlog, and the stated problems brought to him as he asks. Is he a relic of bygone times, when employees worked in a single facility, managed directly by people who could see and speak to them in person?

I do. And you should, too, no matter who you're voting for. Because that's the only choice. Cory Booker is right. Love your neighbor. That's step one. Calling them stupid, racist, or anything else isn't going to change their minds. It's only going to reenforce the very reasons why they're voting for Trump in the first place.
