Meet Healthfundr: Equity-Based Crowdfunding For Health Startups

When Marshall McLuhan said that the medium is the message in the 1960s, it’s amazing to think about how much that idea still applies in present culture.  What he meant is that new forms of media (technology) transform our experience and is ultimately more important than the content that is shared.  In other words, technology [...]...

    Integrating PR Into Your Product

    BY:

    A startup’s biggest challenge is marketing. Surely financing, hiring a great team, building a killer product among other challenges startups face are hard to pull off, but once you’ve got that product, you face the greatest challenge of all.

    Why We Need To Shift Our Focus Of The Open Web

    BY:

    A few weeks ago I found myself at a family dinner, when the inevitable discussion of politics became a topic of conversation.  I love my grandma more than anything, but to her only the government can solve an individual’s issues.  She routinely refers to CEO compensation and corporate earnings from the prospective, “your grandfather and I never made [...]

    BY:

    Below is a guest post by Greg Moran. Having been involved with three startups, I can’t tell you how many times people have asked me how to prepare for starting a company. How do you tell when you’re ready or if your idea is good enough? So how exactly do you prepare for the startup life [...]

    CEO Sunday: Running Two Startups Is More Than A Possibility

    BY:

    Running a startup is one of the hardest things I’ve ever done. I guess I probably can’t blame people for the looks they give me when I tell them I run two. I really just stumbled onto the idea for my first startup. I walked out of a Red Lobster one night and returned to [...]

    What Are Your Customers Really Worth To You?

    BY:

    The last few days have been excellent, we had a wonderful response to our launch. I’ve always been very active in responding to users but this launch made me re-think customer relations and what they really mean.

    Anatomy of Startup Development: Social Channels

    BY:

    If you would have spent any time in my office over the last 3 years, you might think I am a spokes person for the phrases: “what is this company doing” and “shoot I forgot to put sour cream on my burrito”.  I seem to have missed the entrepreneur meeting that directed new companies to build [...]

    What Startups Can Learn From Rick Santorum

    BY:

    Every startup executive, founder or co-founder can learn something from the Iowa caucuses, where we just saw a Republican nominee, one hardly taken seriously, with little money, and few firm endorsements manage to come within 8 votes of the front runner. I am talking about Rick Santorum, with 24.5% of the vote and Mitt Romney, [...]

    BY:

    New Years is an ideal time to look back on your accomplishments from the previous year and begin setting goals for the next. People have been making New Year’s resolutions since the Roman times. Seriously!
