You hear this from VC’s a lot: “We need to own X% of your company to make our returns.” They back it up with sensible math—owning 20% of a billion dollar outcome returns a $200mm VC fund, and, of course, you’re trying to at least return the fund. So, no one really questions the ownership model. Yet, when you buy shares of Apple or Facebook, you don’t even think about what percent of the company you own.

by Peter Johnston , founder and CEO of Kalo. Full-time employment affords individual staff members access to healthcare benefits, paid sick leave and several other notable amenities. But what about freelancers? The freelance economy doesn’t require businesses to provide such benefits, and many freelancers don’t even attempt to seek them out — potentially leading to long-term harm.

Cold emails are unsolicited emails sent to previously uncontacted recipients. The term has a bad reputation. To many, cold emails are synonymous with spam and a nuisance—one reason why U.S. workers spend 3.2 hours checking their work email each day. Why would anyone want to use cold email? Because, when done well, it can work. Cold email is not a replacement for inbound methods but a supplement—a way to drive near-term growth while inbound campaigns gain traction.

On YouTube, a keyword-targeted pre-roll ad might show the same video to a CEO and an intern. On Facebook, an ideal customer may log on to see photos of a new nephew, not to check out a 30-second demo of your SaaS product. LinkedIn has the potential to resolve both shortcomings: You know much more about who’s on the other end of an ad. You have a pretty good idea of why they’re on LinkedIn—to improve their career or company.

It’s easy to come up with ideas for developing a new mobile app, but good ideas are a dime a dozen. You could have the best idea in the world, but if nobody wants to use your app, it won’t catch on. Plenty of good app ideas are developed, only to crash and burn. Why? The short answer is a lack of research and planning. It takes time and planning to develop an app ; it’s not something you can do in a 24-hour power session.

My old friend Peter Thiel once wrote an essay for the Wall Street Journal, titled “Competition Is for Losers.” Entrepreneurs frequently make the mistake of picking highly competitive markets.

If you are just plain tired of working so hard, or your startup is not getting the traction you expected, should you shut down cleanly, or just file for bankruptcy and walk away? For those who think that bankruptcy is the easy way out, think again. Bankruptcy should always be the absolutely last resort. The “advantage” of filing for bankruptcy, of course, is that it gets creditors permanently off your back, with no continuing lawsuits, based on funds derived from selling all assets.

With the reality of LinkedIn, Facebook, and dozens of other websites profiling you, the old-fashioned written resume is an artifact of a hiring practice that is now superfluous. The real “resume” that you have to live with is everything that you or anyone else has posted about you on any site on the Internet. You can’t hide, since no Internet presence is now assumed to be a negative.

Start-ups, by definition, are risky. But traditionally, start-ups have looked for the least risky position in the value chain. And for many, this is being a platform. Successful platforms build an ecosystem of contributors that create content for the platform. Or, they build a marketplace where sellers decide which products might sell or not. In both cases, the platform is a risk-minimizing strategy.
