What is the Right Burn Rate at a Startup Company?

What is the Right Burn Rate at a Startup Company?

By Mark Suster on September 29, 2014

I was reading Danielle Morrill’s blog post on whether one’s “Startup Burn Rate is Normal.” I highly recommend reading it. I love how transparently Danielle lives her startup (& encourages other to join in) because it provides much needed transparency to other startups. Danielle goes through some commentary from Bill Gurley, Fred Wilson and Marc […]

Want to Know What Marc Andreessen’s Magic on Twitter is? Hint: It’s Not Tweetstorming

Want to Know What Marc Andreessen’s Magic on Twitter is? Hint: It’s Not Tweetstorming

By Mark Suster on June 30, 2014

By now almost everybody knows that Marc Andreessen has taken Twitter by storm. By Tweetstorm, that is. Marc seems to single handedly have changed all conventions in Tweeting by dropping 7-10 rapid Tweets in a related stream-of-consciousness labeling each Tweet with a number and a slash before it. Fred Wilson wrote a Tweetstorm and then […]

Why Titles Matter a Lot if You’re a Blogger

Why Titles Matter a Lot if You’re a Blogger

By Mark Suster on September 9, 2013

Gabe Rivera wrote a post on why TechMeme is now using its editors to curate titles that appear on its site. Gabe’s post appears first on TechMeme’s website, which must mean Gabe has paid off some TechMeme editors to get his story to rise to the top. I never saw it go out with a […]

Web Second, Mobile First

By Mark Suster on January 28, 2012

The titles were: Mobile First, Web Second Mobile First, Web Second (continued) If you’re in the minority that never read them – you should. I know that they really impacted an entire cohort of startups because every company that was […]

The End of the Web? Don’t Bet on It. Here’s Why

The End of the Web? Don’t Bet on It. Here’s Why

By Mark Suster on December 19, 2011

Fred Wilson recently posted a great video on his blog with the CEO of Forrester Research, George Colony. The money slide is the graphic below. The chart shows three scarce resources and their improvements over time. The top line is available storage (S), the middle line represents processing power (following Moore’s law) or (P) and the […]

How Tech People Can Make a Difference in the Lives of Under-Privileged Children

How Tech People Can Make a Difference in the Lives of Under-Privileged Children

By Mark Suster on August 1, 2011

I’d like to start by asking each of you to consider helping under-privileged children in America get a little bit more than they have today. Sure, you can give a small amount of money. Even $10. Please. It’s better than zero. You can combine that with supporting Fred & Joanne Wilson. (if you click no […]

The Art of Riding the Bubble

The Art of Riding the Bubble

By Bob Warfield on March 24, 2011

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. […]

One Man’s Signal is Another Man’s Noise

One Man’s Signal is Another Man’s Noise

By Mark Suster on March 3, 2011

  After the weekend kerfuffle over AngelList I was reading Brad Feld’s post on Signal vs. Noise. It’s apropos because there is so much noise these days with email, Twitter, Facebook, blogs, web shows, etc. that it’s sometimes hard to know when to pay attention and when to keep your head down. Mostly during the […]

Angel Investing Skill 2 – Domain Knowledge

By Mark Suster on September 14, 2010

This is the second 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. I have talked extensively about “social proof” in fund raising in the past.  But the problem is that most […]
