What Entrepreneurs Should do about Price Fixing

By Mark Suster on September 23, 2010

OMG. This is super funny. I wrote the post below after work.  I had to race to meet my wife for dinner & a movie (we have “date night” once / week) and went to see Town (which was awesome).  I figured I needed time to spell check and edit before publishing so I would […]

It Can’t All Be Game-Changing

By Guest Authors on September 23, 2010

Humans have a weakness (it’s actually physiological, I think): a predilection toward narcissism. As such, we always see whatever time we’re living in as THE crucial time in the span of human history (at every point in history, every one has thought that surely THIS is the critical moment). I mean, with global flattening and […]

This is the fourth article in a series on what it takes to be a great angel investor (and why this should matter to entrepreneurs).  Part 1 – Access to Great Deal Flow – is here.

Woman in High Tech & The New York Times Out of the Loop

Woman in High Tech & The New York Times Out of the Loop

By Zoli Erdos on April 18, 2010

Out of the loop is the original title of a New York Times article discussing how difficult it is for women entrepreneurs to get funded, or generally to get into the management ranks in business.  A title that backfires … but you’ll have to wait to see why. The first case discussed @ the NYT […]

Open Angel Forum San Fran – Team Calacanis Raises the Bar

Open Angel Forum San Fran – Team Calacanis Raises the Bar

I attended the inaugural Open Angel Forum in Los Angeles back in January and wrote about it here.  Jason Calacanis started this initiative in response to the pay-to-play network of angel events that he despised.  I’m a huge supporter of his initiative to help end this practice. The first event was a big success and […]

As a former […]
