Is There A Social Media Bubble?

Is There A Social Media Bubble?

By Chris Yeh on April 16, 2012

Of course there’s a social media bubble. All over the map, everyone ranging from seed-stage investors to the public markets are paying inflated prices for social media assets. But while the current frenzy is a bubble, it doesn’t even come close to the magnitude and madness of the Dot-Com bubble. Back in those days, “eyeballs” […]

On Bubbles … And Why We’ll Be Just Fine

On Bubbles … And Why We’ll Be Just Fine

By Mark Suster on June 22, 2011

I recently spoke at the Founder Showcase at the request of Adeo Ressi.  I asked what the audience most needed to hear. He said, “They need an unbiased view of the fund raising environment because there is too much misinformation and everything seems to be changing fast.” This was […]

Is Social the new DotCom?

Is Social the new DotCom?

By Mark Fidelman on May 31, 2011

The term “Social” followed by any noun is exploding into the business lexicon.  And it’s beginning to feel like the fairy tale that was the dot com era.  Fueled by the Viagra of VC cash, many start-ups had enormous capital, enormous confidence and stiff valuations to match. The motto “get big fast” was the prescribed […]

People are increasingly asking whether there is a Bubble underway in the tech business.  The answer is that by the time you know there is a Bubble it’s probably too late to do anything about it.  But if all you’re doing is asking whether there is a Bubble, the Bubble is probably not here, yet. […]

Please let there be another internet bubble because this time I won't screw it up

Please let there be another internet bubble because this time I won’t screw it up

By Dan Morrill on March 9, 2011

Internet Bubble 2.0 is firmly entrenched, with stupid valuations of companies that have never turned a profit. For those that remember the halcyon days of 1998 through 2000 where every half-baked idea would get stupid amounts of funding, it is interesting to see the lessons from then not applied to today. At this point I […]

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 […]
