Internet Startups - Something for the Entreprenuer to Consider

Many times when I am listening to a pitch for a new Internet or Social Media company, the entrepreneur attempts to categorize their company as another YouTube or Facebook. Now it is entirely possible that this may be true, but it is highly unlikely. More importantly, using companies like YouTube or Facebook create an impression of the type of story we should be listening to hear.

Great Article in Today's Wall Street Journal

Today’s Wall Street Journal Report is on Entrepreneurship with the lead article on “Why Business Plans Fail” by John Mullins. Along with his description of five common flaws, he also provides six telltale terms that should be avoided and why. A good read for any entrepreneur who is either in the process of, or getting ready to, put together a new business plan.

Don't Blow it by Being Sloppy!

On Friday, I saw a number of presentations by companies looking for startup funding. I found it hard to believe the number of companies that provided Fact Sheets with mistakes especially in the financial projections. How stupid can you be! All the work it takes to get to a point where you are finally ready to present your opportunity to a group that might just have what you need most, financing, and your being sloppy stops you dead in your tracks.
