I studied electrical engineering and I value my college experience and education. However, at the same time I think college, and school in general, instills a tunnel-vision mentality. I'm sure engineering students have heard it before fro

Philanthropy has historically followed Pareto's Principle, that about 90% of your donations will come from 10% of your donors. Barack Obama changed this perception. The majority of his donations came small donors, less than $100, who dona

I think Twitter handled the issue of being bought with 80% Facebook stock very well. After all, how does Facebook even determine their own value? They have revenues, but not enough to justify a valuation as high as $9 billion. Facebook p

I thought the reason Chez Panisse, Seattle, and SF stopped buying bottled water was not because of the quality of the water, but rather the wastefulness of the bottles themselves...

I just saw Johnny Cupcakes speak at UCSB last night. He's also a college drop out. While there are plenty of college drop out entrepreneurs that are very successful (e.g. Bill Gates), there are also a lot of successful entrepreneurs that

Wow...but when it comes down to it people probably don't care about the domain as much as Toy R Us thinks. People find the toys they want, then price compare on Google. Or if they want to skip that step, they'll just buy it from Amazon.

Your experiment of creating 2 teams would be an interesting one. But I think one team should be given 2 weeks and the other team should be given 1 (or less), and they cannot know of the other team or that they're trying to solve the same p

I agree it should not take seven years and a team of lawyers to open a small business...and in general it doesn't. I agree that city politics should not favor a local cartel, but every new business venture faces some degree of barrier to e

Rule #1 could read along the lines of: "Is the [potential] cofounder an animal?" I think this is one of the most difficult rules to abide by because a lot of very talented people say they would like to start a company, but never will. When
