Life certainly seems easier for startups that have financial backing, but there’s a hidden downside: Board meetings. Serial entrepreneur Brent Constantz, founder of Calera and other firms, says the time management issues that come with having a board can debilitate a company in this Entrepreneur Thought Leader Lecture given at Stanford University. That time can be better spent fulfilling the comp

I'm not saying it's really bad... but I really dig the fact that Y-Combinator has maintained its profile of being a seed funding for fresh-out-of-college founders who want to make it big in the web world. They have the energy and ideas, so they receive a few bucks from Paul and work together to make it happen... and as you can see from the list of startups I've mentioned earlier... some of them a

That’s why we’re seeing so many tech startups focus in on two of the Bay Area’s hottest commercial real-estate markets — San Francisco’s South of Market (SoMa) District and Silicon Valley’s Palo Alto. The prices might be high, but many tech startups are willing to pay the premium to be close to the action.

Geekmedia is getting into the startup incubation business with a new program called Venturegeeks. Based in Tel Aviv, Venturegeeks sounds like it will be structured similarly to well-known US incubator programs like Y Combinator. Startups accepted into the program will receive $20,000, as well as three months of mentorship and office space, in return for a 10 percent stake in the company.

Some entrepreneurs consider 409A valuations a necessary evil. But too many aren’t particularly familiar with this particular section of the corporate tax code. And while we realize tax law might not be red-hot cocktail party conversation, it’s something that should be top of mind for start-up owners.

Judging from the proliferation of coworking and startup incubation spaces in San Francisco, there’s definitely interest from entrepreneurs and other folks in the tech world who don’t want to work at their kitchen table, but who aren’t ready to move into a full office. In fact, many of the initial listings on ShareYourOffice come from coworking spaces.

Three years ago I created the concept of the GeeknRolla annual conference to bring together Europe’s technology startups to network with investors and talk about how they create and build themselves. This year we are stepping on the gas pedal. We want to launch 15-20 brand new startups there and our tagline this year is this: “Investor Dealflow. Startup Exposure”.

Parts of Obama’s plan look great, and he’s dead right that an emphasis on federally-funded research and removing barriers to entrepreneurship are national imperatives. But what are the odds his successors stick to that fortitude with pressures to reduce taxes and cut an out-of-control deficit?

While entrepreneurs are out there busting their humps, making something cheaper, expanding its usage, increasing productivity, fending off fierce competition, and hoping to turn a profit along the way, there are those who, through the stroke of a pen, make a killing doing absolutely nothing of value. These "political entrepreneurs" leverage their political power to own something and then...

The word startup seems to be used too loosely in this day and age. Some people think something built in a weekend or over the course of time on the side is a full fledged startup, when it is often just a side project. Building things is great, more people should do it and do it often. The problem is, most people either take the leap at the wrong time OR they don't take a leap at all, when the...
