The main thrust of the argument has little to do with dietary choice, and far more to do with the negative footprint of factory farming. Factory farming is a significant contributor to many negatives in the environment. Methane, fertilizer

Doesn't seem to be working for me, I get a 'sorry you can't do that' error. Once it's up again I'll take a deeper look, inventory needs help and i look forward to seeing your solution.

Patton unwittingly explains startup entrepreneurship. This is the new business model, and it's been changing (democratizing) content production and communications in such a way that our generation will be the last to believe that we need to

Prototype it up and hit kickstarter/indiegogo. If you've truly got a winner, the market will support you. If not, you've saved yourself and potential investors money and time. Hardware is increasingly going this route due to the significa

Disclaimer, I'm a lay person (marketing/business) with a tech company aiming for disruption, however, the market we're disrupting is one I have deep expertise in. I was smart/lucky enough to partner up with an expert on the tech side to en

The post, well written by Naveen Jain, is arguing a 'fresh eyes' theory, and while it's wonderfully optimistic, I can't help but think it's somewhat naive. Instead of attacking his position, however, I think it just needs a slight correctio

First off, don't think that your name needs to define you. Your company, it's dealings, and it's founders will define it, so open yourself to more possibilities. Regardless of the cause or core values of your incubator, putting too much we

I remember telling people about this when it first launched, citing it as a vanity metrics booster. As a startup founder, however, it's invaluable. I'm a converted fan, and the process even taught this rookie a bunch about link building an

Outstanding. Utility fog here I come. Must have been a browser error. Beautiful work, all my luddite friends were suitably impressed.

I'm dying to know what 'utility fog' will be. The only thing missing from this great display is a wiki link to each item he lists in the upcoming years.

Best advice I ever heard on sales was that the best salespeople spend 25% of the time talking, 75% of the time listening. The YC interview is fast becoming a business testing benchmark for entrepreneurs, I'm seeing more and more entrpreneur

Many say it best, risk averse. Early stage, tech savvy angels are as rare as sunny weather here in Vancouver. There are about 3 in total, all working out of Growlab. That being said, complaining about it won't get it fixed. Growlab is doin

Branding is where so many companies miss the mark. Nice to see someone explain it properly. Brand = customer engagement and experience. When you do it right, you get evangelism, customers who will spread your message, and growing network

I didn't find it difficult to read, but the post is relevant, even if it's been made elsewhere. The point is that venture capital isn't broken, as the post implies, but is becoming diluted at a cost of innovative vision. It's clear that th

Great post, a few of the incubators/accelerators we looked at had very few mentors that could help us get to market, and in our discussions we discovered that none of them knew our space like we did. The flipside is that if you're not alrea
