Mention that you do “Consumer tech” as a startup founder and you’d be limiting your funding options to one third of the venture capital funds (in Israel that figure is probably closer to 10%). Until now, consumer tech was perceived as a risky binary investment. B2C founders are surely no strangers to the adage ‘Consumer is hard’ – it’s not just the scarcity of funding that is challenging: consumer taste is fickle and competition includes most of the tech

Money in the bank is like oil in the car. Certainly, you have many ways you are pulled every day, both tactical and strategic. But when money is the issue, your time, energy and focus are drained from other important areas of your life or business. Running out of money is not always synonymous with going broke. Many great businesses in their growth periods find themselves stretched for cash.

Heres one of my favorite business strategies. I dont solely rely on it. But I like it a lot. One of the simplest and most effective ways to grow your business is to ask for a referral.

And by wrong, I mean sending out some generic, mass email begging for referrals like a kid shaking down the neighborhood for cookie sales.
