Every industry deals with regulations in some capacity. It’s a critical aspect of operating in those sectors. Regulations exist to help protect organizations and consumers. After all, you wouldn’t want to deal with a bank that doesn’t follow the regulations that protect your money and privacy. Every industry has them, but the most prominent (and vital) ones are upheld in the financial, healthcare, pharmaceutical, and payment industries.

Investing in data lets you make strategic business decisions based on insights rather than instinct or opinion. It reduces risk and drives smarter investments. But data has no value without understanding. While the data might make sense to you, it might appear as meaningless numbers on a page to people outside of your role. The benefits of data lie in the way you communicate it.

In this world of constant change, new technologies, and a thousand cultures, it’s evident and somehow comforting to me that the basic rules for business prosperity really haven’t changed in the last hundred years. Business success is still more about the people than the technology or idea involved. As an angel investor and a mentor to entrepreneurs I still see this every day.

As an investor in startups, I most often see entrepreneurs who are technologists, or at least have a real passion for a specific product. They rarely highlight their marketing and relationship skills , even though, in my experience, these are more often the key to success in business than product skills. I’m a believer in the old saying that investors look for great people, more than great ideas.
