Business Planning Will Make a Comeback
While I don’t love business plans at all (making them, at least), I think a business plan should be taking into consideration (at least a short version of it) even if your startup is based on Lean Startup principles.
Don’t cave to your mistakes, embrace them. In fact, mistakes are simply to the portals of discovery. There’s an old saying that “every bull’s-eye is the result of a hundred misses.” So the next time you feel the sting of failure, just realize you’re likely one shot closer to hitting your target.

And that’s exactly what your resume needs to do, too. Not the laundry list / standard bio that talks about you, but the marketing piece that talks about the benefits to your future employer and how you fit into his or her needs and desires.
So it turns out that even on his 560th birthday, this remarkable fellow Leonardo da Vinci is teaching us about the future. What a genius…

Social media and other online channels are increasingly driving the influence, reach, and ultimately the success of today’s venture capitalists. Whether through blogging or tweeting, podcasting or networking via professional communities on LinkedIn, the Web provides powerful opportunities for venture capitalists to interact with entrepreneurs and the world.
For this report, OpenView examined what it deemed to be the top technology-focused venture capital firms in the United States. We then compiled a list of 28 venture capitalists to analyze for the report by examining their use of three social media tools: blogs, Twitter, and Quora. The result was a ranking of the 10 most influential venture capitalists online overall, as well as the top five using each of these tools. Importantly, the report also looks at the techniques these leading venture capitalists use to fuel their success online.

Not the image you expect from such a menacing title. Interesting read, nevertheless.
Good to keep close :) Puts the Instagram acquisition in a different light
How We Fooled Ourselves into Delaying Our Startup’s Launch
I think every entrepreneur makes these mistakes at least once in their lifetime.
For those of you that don’t have an amazing excuse (like you will be put in jail if you do this), please launch an early prototype. Not waiting to launch is, by far, the best advice I can give. Hopefully you’ll listen more than we did.

24 de litri la suta de kilometri. Consum, da. Un motor de 407CP. O masina care merge asa cum ii spui tu sa mearga.
Da, stiu, e un BMW sport. La ce te astepti?
Sincer sa fiu, nu am ce sa va spun. E o masina de 130.000E si arata si se comporta ca atare. Ce e deosebit la ea e integrarea din ce in ce mai mare a internetului si aplicatiilor mobile cu masina. De la faptul ca poti asculta radio online de pe iPhone-ul tau (printr-o aplicatie third party, nu creata de brandul auto respectiv, lucru gasit prima data la aceasta masina – aplicatia se gaseste in App Store, se numeste AUPEO), pana la ceea ce am vazut acum vreo 2-3 ani, la un seria 1, in Germania, cand GPS-ul verifica aglomeratia de pe autostrada prin internet, live, si te anunta sau iti modifica traseul pentru a evita.
Mai mult, te poti conecta la Twitter si poti da twit-uri in timp ce conduci (da, prin computerul de bord, un de pe telefonul propriu, asta poti face si dintr-un Tico). Trebuie sa folosesti diferite template-uri, evident, ca nu ai timp sa scrii – teoretic. Si e vorba de twit-uri de genul “sunt in cutare loc”. Cam ca un Foursquare pentru masina ta.
Ceva deosebit: masina nu are becuri la faruri. Are numai leduri, in totalitate. Nu stiu daca e prima masina de genul asta, dar in mod cert e prima pe care o conduc eu.
Interiorul e ceea ce te astepti de la BMW. Si mai mult. Cu boxe Bang and Olufsen, cu boxa de inalte iesind din bord (pe bord, de fapt), cu cusaturi speciale pe piele, cu.. cu…
Ce as putea sa va spun ca sa va cumparati un 650? Nimic. Daca aveti 130.000E pentru o masina, sunt sigur ca aveti alte modalitati de a va hotari. Ceea ce va pot spune eu e ca mi-as dori sa fiu in situatia de a avea aceasta dilema.
P.S.: BMW-ul asta e frumos. Arata mai bine, din punctul meu de vedere, decat seria 3 coupe, care mi s-a parut o masina foarte frumoasa de prima data cand am vazut-o.
Stiu, nu am zis aproape nimic despre masina. Pentru ca o fac altii mai bine. Cum ar fi Automarket.
