View from Seed

APRIL 26, 2018

At the seed stage, hiring great people is one of the most important things to get right. Without the right team in place, it’s much harder to build great products, find customers, and not run out of money in the process. When I came to NextView, this is also the pillar of our Platform programming that I immediately gravitated toward. I saw this first-hand at Blue Apron — I had to hire 30+ people across a ton of different functions in just under two years.

Thinking about starting a business while you’re still in school? Getting your business off the ground before you graduate has several benefits. Your college can offer useful resources that can help you learn more about business ownership. Once you’ve earned your degree, you’ll already have a job waiting for you. If you already know what type of business you want to start, use this opportunity to turn your dream into a reality.

Money in the bank is like oil in the car. Certainly, you have many ways you are pulled every day, both tactical and strategic. But when money is the issue, your time, energy and focus are drained from other important areas of your life or business. Running out of money is not always synonymous with “going broke”. Many great businesses in their growth periods find themselves stretched for cash.

It is widely known that there is an existing stigma around male mental health, as this is not a subject that has been openly discussed in the past. In recent times, a lot of work has been done to increase communication and support in workplaces to help make the subject less taboo. You may be unsure of how to approach this situation sensitively. This is due to fear of overstepping a line or not having the resources or education to handle the subject.

Being an entrepreneur means that you have very busy days. It can be hard to fit in eating right and taking the best care of your body. However, if you get into bad eating habits just as a result of being busy, you may soon find that it actually has an impact on how productive and effective you can be in business. This is because how your energy levels are, and even things like how stressed you feel and how well you sleep, have something to do with your diet.

The development of trust between a brand and its target audience is the ultimate goal of any marketer. In the social age, we’ve seen trust established best by the brands that appear human, relatable and real. Until very recently, marketers have shied away from artificial intelligence for that very reason. If something is in any way artificial, then it surely has the potential to compromise their hard-earned successes in being better, more personable brands.
