Guide to launching an Initial Coin Offering (ICO)

Chris McCann

"On one-hand, you are selling future usage of your platform (not giving up equity). On the other-hand, you are becoming a public company on day one. You'll have a huge community you'll need to manage post-ICO, and you need to make sure you want to deal with this burden beforehand."

Service Recovery: Turn Unhappy Customers Into Loyal Fans

Harsh Vardhan

"No matter how bad the situation looks, remind yourself that the customer looks up to you to get their problem solved.You have to work with the customer and a little composure will go a long way in re-establishing their trust in you during the service recovery process."

Three Paths in the Tech Industry: Founder, Executive, or Employee

Michael Seibel

"Often times there are hard barriers preventing people from starting a company. In these cases my best advice is to move to a tech hub (preferably the Bay Area) and work for a tech company until you can save the money, make friends with the right potential teammates, or discover the problem that you are passionate about. It usually takes at least 10 years to build a large and impactful company. It's fine to delay your start date in order to give yourself the best chance of success."

How Facebook's VP of Product Finds Focus and Creates Conditions for Intentional Work

Fidji Simo

"We have the luxury of working in an industry where there are endless opportunities and low-hanging fruit lying everywhere. It's extremely tempting to do it all. But 'doing it all' is as impossible as it is impractical, particularly when you're building products. It's not just people who can lose focus — products can too."
