How No-Code Platforms Empower Anyone To Build Useful Apps

Entrepreneurs' Organization

Anyone – yes, even you – can build a web app, saving you both time and money. If you’ll indulge me: In Pixar’s Ratatouille, world-renowned Chef Auguste Gusteau claimed that “Anyone Can Cook,” even going so far as to publish a cookbook by that same name. Though he was initially ridiculed, what he meant, of course, was not that everyone can become a great chef, but rather that a great chef can come from anywhere or be anyone.

The Decline of Small Town Media Has Big Implications for the Innovation Economy

Revolution

We started the day at sunrise watching hundreds of balloons prepare for one of Albuquerque’s most spectacular events: the mass ascension. Buoyed by that iconic New Mexico experience, we gathered for breakfast alongside local founders, investors, and civic leaders to delve into the city’s expanding innovation landscape. After listening to several speakers, a young man asked some members of our team if they would consider being interviewed for the local news.

Lesson #358: Revenues Lost is More Important to Measure Than Revenues Won

Red Rocket

Revenues, and resulting profits therefrom, is often the primary metric that businesses use to measure their success. I would argue there is an even better metric to measure, which is “lost revenues”. What revenues did you lose during the course of the year, and what were the specific reasons you lost those customers? Why do I say this; because you typically close 20% of your leads and lose 80% of your leads?

Lesson #359: How to Cut Dead Weight Out of Your Business

Red Rocket

In business, you need to be running as efficiently as possible. But, I have seen many businesses carrying a lot of “dead weight”, which is holding them back. Some of that dead weight are smaller things, like being overstaffed or spending too much for services. Or, poorly investing their sales and marketing dollars. And, some of that dead weight is pretty material, like operating too many divisions or focusing on channels that don’t have a material payback.

Pivoting to a billion-dollar idea: Lessons from Clipboard Health founder Wei Deng

Y Combinator

“Pivot” isn’t the bad word some people make it out to be. Many of the greatest companies in YC’s history pivoted along the way. One example: Clipboard Health. Today Clipboard is built around the idea of connecting independent healthcare professionals — think nurses, medical assistants, or phlebotomists — with healthcare facilities to let them pick up shifts that work with their schedule.

We Should Have Real Primaries Every Election and Support the Winner

This is going to be BIG.

The way we’re going about this election, on both sides, is pretty dumb. The establishments of both parties are, to varying degrees, demanding unquestioned loyalty to their major candidates—Donald Trump on one side and our sitting President, Joe Biden, on the other. Any Republican who questions whether or not Donald Trump is the right person going forward is essentially cast out of the party and Democrats who share their concerns about Biden are criticized for caving to right-wing talking points
