Many companies have struggled to develop their flexible work policies, but what you may not realize is that many investors are watching — and judging them. Indeed, a number of investors have explicitly and publicly integrated work-from-home (WFH) policies into evaluations of prospective investment targets. Dozens of investors have approached me for advice on assessing the effectiveness of such policies.

Onboarding is your company’s way to welcome and position new hires for success. It sets the tone for their journey and gives them the tools they need to excel. Done right, it seamlessly integrates incoming talent into your company’s culture and ongoing operations. But doing onboarding right goes beyond a generic “Welcome aboard!” email. Remote work setups require companies to create an onboarding experience that is as optimized and engaging as it is informative.

Generative AI is upending the way product developers & end-users alike are interacting with data. Despite the potential of AI, many are left with questions about the future of product development: How will AI impact my business and contribute to its success?

A strong multiproduct strategy is a cornerstone of a credible growth story for any scaling B2B company. Depending on your goals, new products can deepen the wallet share of your existing customers by focusing on new users or new use cases, or they can expand your TAM by targeting new customers, new geographies, or new verticals. In each case, successfully launching these products means finding product-market fit all over again—but this time, you have a much slimmer margin for error.

A lot of effort is required to master the art of delegation, similar to the Goldilocks Challenge The growth of a small business or early-stage scalable business often rests on the shoulders of the founding owner or entrepreneur. However, not all founders have prior or sufficient managerial business experience before starting a business. The lack of well-honed managerial skills may slow reaching company goals to grow—at a critical time when it needs to become a multiple-employee company.

As angels, we want to believe in the adage that “our human capital helps to de-risk our financial capital.” But what does that mean, and is there any factual basis for our faith? At Launchpad we wanted to find out, and we looked to see if we could use our data to do it. We knew intuitively from experience that the more we were involved with a company, the better the outcome tended to be.

I’m not a fan of the advice to “fail fast.” And not just because people often throw it out like it’s this sage advice — it’s not that sage — we’ll go into that later. I dislike it because it’s truly bad advice that doesn’t allow for context. The traditional interpretation of “fail fast” is to quickly quit any business activities or hires where outcomes don’t match expectations.

Start-ups & SMBs launching products quickly must bundle dashboards, reports, & self-service analytics into apps. Customers expect rapid value from your product (time-to-value), data security, and access to advanced capabilities. Traditional Business Intelligence (BI) tools can provide valuable data analysis capabilities, but they have a barrier to entry that can stop small and midsize businesses from capitalizing on them.
