Support is often an after thought for many startups in terms of the impact it has on your time, sanity, and development resources. It's usually a tedious chore that is a second class citizen. Or...Maybe it's not. Maybe your startup worships at the altar of Zappos. If you do, odds are the influx of support hits you from out of nowhere like a sucker punch. Here's what I've learned about preparing f

Age matters. It matters in almost everything you do. You become fluent in spoken languages far faster at a younger age. In general, it’s easier to change your habits, make mistakes, and learn. Of course, there’s the other side of the fence: it’s harder to get a job, to be taken seriously, and start a company (though this is dramatically changing).

But before I get into the details of how this is possible (because I'm sure you're skeptical), I'd like to point out that unlike Calacanis I don't feel comfortable suggesting to people what they can and can't do as I believe it all really depends on the individual and the context in which they're operating.

Most conferences celebrate business successes. At the second annual FailCon event in San Francisco, the stories are all about how to fail gracefully with a startup. The point isn’t to teach people to fail but to help others learn from your own failures. The investor panel came up with a number of tips about how to fail without alienating everyone else around you, including your employees, co-foun

Of course, you need to have a clear idea of your space and the problem you’re solving. Engaging your early users, listening to them, and being hardcore about data analysis are super-important at this stage too.

New data released today by the University of New Hampshire’s Center for Venture Research found that angel investors put much less money into startup deals during the first half of 2010 than they did in 2009, a direct refutation of the widely held notion in Silicon Valley that seed valuations have been rising.

Even with GPS, you will end up on roads you have never been on and turn corners to see hills that just hurt to go up, which is very similar to the entrepreneurial journey. You might even expect the hill that is coming, but on that day, for some reason, it is just more difficult than the last. You might find the next week that you fly up that hill.

First though, I want to talk a little about the connection between my work and the failure of the relationship. As I said, there wasn't a direct, clear link. I fought hard to carve out time to spend together, since I knew that was the classic mistake.
A great example of this is Facebook transitioning from schools, to .coms, to an open social network. They needed to keep opening up to more users as they saturated their smaller markets. This forced them to keep moving towards a bigger and bigger objective - online identity management - even if this was not the original goal of the service.
I'm a single founder, working full-time on EventLo. This post is a candid account of my experience so far.The whole thing has been unlike anything I've ever done. I don't believe there has ever been a time in my life where I have been so wholly committed to one singular thing. It's like a trance that never stops, though it's power ebbs and flows with my confidence levels and mental fortitude.
