Smart potential customers only visit and buy from credible and memorable websites. In the past, if your startup had a website presence, the company was credible by definition.

It’s hard to imagine that millions or billions of dollars could go missing — unnoticed by anyone. Yet nonprofit embezzlement cases prove that all nonprofits are at risk of this type of crime. . Is your board familiar with the kinds of embezzlement schemes that could happen? Are you confident that your internal controls are adequate? If anyone reports red flags of embezzlement, do you have a plan of action for investigating it?

A Career In Startups From Dwolla to DAOs (and how to get whitelisted for the Illuminati NFT mint). When I befriended Alex Taub in 2013 he lived in New York City, didn’t have children, and certainly did not yet have thousands of dollars invested in virtual race horses. Now that all three of those situations have changed, I figured it would be worthwhile to check in with him about living in Miami, going deep into web3 and his latest startup Upstream.

If I ask you to think of an elephant do you see an elephant in your head when you close your eyes? I don’t. Regardless of how descriptive the imagery, story or text I can’t create any pictures in my head at all. 2% of people can’t do this either. This inability to visualize is called aphantasia. I never knew this absence of mental imagery was even a thing until my daughter pointed out that she and I were missing something my wife and other daughter had.

As you accept a nonprofit board position, you may already know that executive compensation is one of the board’s most important duties. Creating attractive and reasonable compensation packages, practicing transparency, and opening opportunities for diversity are just some of the challenges when establishing an executive compensation policy. .

As a long-time business advisor and mentor to entrepreneurs, I’ve always been impressed with the few who seem to always come out ahead, no matter what the challenge. It seems to be more a function of mindset and principles, more than education or natural ability. I’m convinced that we all have a similar potential, if we practice the right principles and persevere through thick and thin.
