And in January I saw that digital music overtook physical media for the first time in 2011, something I expected since 1998. Here’s Why on his Both Sides of the Table blog for a good read and a good lesson. It seems like good advice to me. Subscribe to the Gust Blog. Subscribe by email. Invested Interests. I like that.
That’s how it felt then and a bit how it feels in May 2011. years ago you’d remember RIP Good Times from Sequoia, which still strikes me as having been prudent advice in late 2008. I was thinking about all of this as I looked at the logs from my WordPress blog this evening. I started blogging 2 years ago.
I obviously don’t have a crystal ball so the economy could fare better than my gut, but here’s why I’m cautious for some time in 2010 or early 2011: Why is the future still so unpredictable? So if I am unnecessarily concerned in this blog post (great!) My advice in my post Should You Even Raise VC still holds.
In 2008 I started VC blogging. I had blogged when I was an entrepreneur. Ironic to be self-centered while you’re trying to offer advice to others. In 2011 I started using Instagram. In 2007 I started using Twitter and most of my friends & colleagues wondered why people would care what I ate for lunch.
Those of us that are willing to admit that we fawked things up in the first dot-com explosion and learned from our mistakes have the battle wounds to make more pragmatic decisions in 2011. I loved the quote so much I wrote an entire blog post on the topic.
I had been trading emails & Tweets with venture capitalist John Frankel and we were to meet in person in March 2011 at SxSW to talk about Klout and other investments he had made. Other people were convinced including Kleiner Perkins who lead their $30 million fund raising in 2012 (they had previously also invested in 2011).
All of this is covered in more detail on the TWiVC video above (and much of it is covered in text on this blog on the “ Raising VC &# tab). Do you really still need a Powerpoint deck in 2011? A summary of what we discussed is below: Not 100% in order of the video, but close. Will a VC sign an NDA (non-disclosure agreement)?
Occasionally on this blog I break away from industry commentary and write more broadly. It’s why I still randomly meet up with people I’ve met on Twitter or this blog. 2011 was the first year I went to SxSW. The first day of 2012 seems the perfect day to do so. Examples in My Life & Work.
In case you missed all the kerfuffle this weekend, I posted this blog post originally on TechCrunch. This is a blog post I really didn’t want to write. Still, as I’ve written in the past, what I love about blogging is the ability to have a public debate where we can all learn. The post is balanced and worth reading.
I’ve been on the road much of 2012 and part of 2011. I didn’t sleep much back then. I was on the road much and I internalized much of the stress so that others didn’t have to. And so it goes again. According to the SEC we’re not allowed to market the fact that we’re fund raising, so I won’t.
The Family co-founder and CEO Alice Zagury announced in a blog post that the French startup accelerator is suing Oussama Ammar for multiple claims — breach of trust, forgery and use of forgery. Back in 2011, Ammar used to work for a company called Be Sport. Zagury listed some of The Family’s portfolio companies in her blog post.
This blog post originally appeared in serialized form here on TechCrunch. Suddenly we were all creating blogs on Blogger.com, Typepad & WordPress. We started uploading images of ourselves to our blogs. But the masses didn’t want to blog. But less considered is the fact that the success of the Web 2.0
All adapted garments available around 2011-2014 were very poorly designed and not fashionable at all! Q: I have to ask then, what advice do you have for female entrepreneurs? . A: My advice for any entrepreneur is: do something that makes you vibrate from every pore of your skin. It did not work very well. Stay tuned!
A great recent example of this was a successful group of entrepreneurs who had created a company that will do $10-12 million in revenue at their system integration business (read: services business) in 2011 after having done $5 million or so in 2010 and $2-3 million in 2009. They wanted advice. Even tech blogs know this.
A year ago I blogged about one of my most common mantras that applies to sales, biz dev & fund raising alike: “ Time is the Enemy of all Deals.&#. Again, this is highly individualized so no generic advice can be offered. The market is over-valued in 2011 relative to norms. So how should you decide what to do?
Elite Entrepreneurs got its official start as a standalone company in 2018, but the Elite Forum was created inside of Infusionsoft in December of 2011. The podcast has leaders from all types of successful businesses provide advice, guidance, and tools that are valuable for anyone looking to excel in life and in business. .
During his free time, he started a blog to tell his friends back home about his life out west, and also to recommend TV shows. Slowly, Mike’s Bloggity Blog became one of Canada’s premier entertainment sites, and Morrison found himself with a local newspaper column as well as regular television and radio appearances.
I started a private debt fund in 2011 to take advantage of this reality for my family and our clients. I also hold significant minority interests in small private companies where I provide strategic advice, but have no role in daily operations. and more articles from the EO blog. . Invest in Stocks.
Chris Neumann (of Canada’s Panache Ventures ) checks these boxes so I asked him to come on my blog (currently less consistent, hopefully still the other two) for Five Questions. HW: Your blog , which I love, tries to bridge a knowledge gap between founders and investors, often explaining ‘why investors do/care about X’ and so on.
The three largest webmail services had over 1 billion global users at the end of 2011. In a way it feels intuitive to us – the readers of this blog – because we’re the tech crowd. I suppose I could have skipped the whole rest of the blog post and just posted that. There are 2.9 billion email accounts.
