Startup Reading List | September 25, 2015 |
It's a Dave McClure classic from eight years ago and it's in easily digestible video format. Along with the three other reads for this week, you'll be in good shape after this weekend.

| | Benedict Evans "Buzzfeed has been as innovative in the revenue model as in distribution, thinking about what advertising should be and how it should work rather than just throwing up banner ads and 10 meg of ad-tech JavaScript and hoping for the best. Twitter didn't do that either, and I doubt Medium would. This is partly an advantage of scale. You have to be very big indeed to be able to create new ad formats from scratch and persuade advertisers to pay real money for them. So, again, you want to be part of a network - a platform - of some kind, not just a publishing tool. A platform can create new revenue models where a CMS cannot." | | Lars Dalgaard "Many interviews in Silicon Valley end up being a bunch of self-promotional, silly trick questions that may get you into Mensa but don't indicate much else. Or, they're just full of hot air … and when markets are as hot as they are now, everyone seems desperate to hire quickly, while overlooking the basics." | | Dave McClure Classic but important talk by 500 Startups' Dave McClure on key metrics to track. | | Trey Causey "Interviewing is extremely stressful. Make sure you build in plenty of small breaks for the candidate to use the restroom, have water/coffee/etc., and recollect their thoughts. If the candidate wants to whiteboard things, let them, but don't force them. Treat them like humans that might be your co-worker one day soon!" | | | You are receiving this email because you believe that the best startup articles and videos are made by active members of the startup community.
