You’ve probably noticed there are questions that ChatGPT won’t answer. Questions that the developers deem illegal or inappropriate are kiboshed. The ‘P’ in the title refer’s to ‘pre-trained’ – which believe it or not includes telling the model which questions not to answer. But because this is a Large Language Model, you can use language to get around the training – to trick ChatGPT into giving you what you want.

Luckily, not all investors are looking for the same thing, so it pays to know what type of investors are most interested in what your startup brings to the table.

Being in love is great. Being in love with your business, when you’re an entrepreneur, is even better. Waking up each morning knowing you are getting ready to do exactly what you love is more than most people could ever say about any “job” they have had. Although there are days when tossing in your hat seems like a viable option, remembering how much you love your “job” can quickly snap an entrepreneur out of that mentality.

The reigning theory in business has long been that “alpha” leaders make the best entrepreneurs. These are aggressive, results-driven achievers who assert control, and insist on a hierarchical organizational model. Yet I am seeing more and more success from “beta” startup cultures, like Zappos and Amazon, where the emphasis is on collaboration, curation, and communication.
