brainstorm loved meeting talk talking
One of the things that I've always loved to do is brainstorm ideas with friends and get together and talk about what they're building... Essentially, my day-to-day is just going around and meeting entrepreneurs and talking to them about what they plan on launching.
business discovery ideas
Letting users control your site can be terrifying at first. From day one we were asking ourselves, "What is going to be on the front page today?" You have no idea what the system will produce. But stepping back and giving consumers control is what brought more and more people to the site. They have a sense of ownership and discovery at the same time. If you give users the tools to spread and share their interests with others, they will use them to promote what is important to them.
success trying needs
You don't need anyone's approval and in fact, you probably won't get it, so don't even try. Build, release and iterate. Make a list of the features you want to create over the next six months and get going! For small companies, once a week; for larger companies, maybe twice a month.
release
Release early and often.
media entrepreneur social
Social media really grew up.
care i-dont-care dont-care
I don't care what it is, when it has an LCD screen, it makes it better.
angel keys saying-no
The key to making money in angel investing is saying no. You meet with 100 companies and say no to 99 of them.
years brain way
I don't do a ton of deals a year, and I really like working with startups - it's the only way I can invest. It fits my ADD brain.
form wells products
I love well-designed products that combine form and functionality.
team moving vision
A team aligned behind a vision will move mountains. Sell them on your roadmap and don't compromise - care about the details, the fit and finish.
pride trying shame
Founders: there is no shame in failing, take pride in that you have the guts to try something new.
moving design too-much
Don't spend too much time planning, release early and often, some things will work, others won't, refine and move forward and above all forget the money, just make sure you love what you're doing.
When you look at what makes America great, what makes America, you know, not great, our ups and our downs, Springfield represents all of it.
business believe night
Ifyou believe in something, work nights and weekends, it won't feel like work.
