VC's Are Not Your Friends, They're Frenemies

Steve Blank

"While the best VC's treat entrepreneurs like you are their most important customer, and they add tremendous value to your startup (recruiting, strategy, coaching, connections, etc.) they are not doing it out of the goodness of their hearts."

Fundraising Rounds Are Not Milestones

Michael Seibel

"Optimizing for funding rounds is just as unproductive as optimizing for headcount, press mentions, conference invites, fancy offices, speaking gigs or top line revenue growth with massively negative unit economics."

Resources you need for a Successful App Launch

Arun Agrahri

"Paid campaigns during the first few days can help you build visibility. Use limited paid app install campaigns to boost more organic downloads."

Cognitive Overhead is Your Product's Overlord

David Lieb

"Now, yes, for the most part, we don't have lions attacking us anymore but, consider this: A few decades ago, your users were on a desktop, looking at your website with a big dedicated screen. There was ample time to understand your complex product. No distractions, no lions attacking."
